I've had success with PC Inspector File Recovery:

I think it would be best to use the affected PC as little as possible until you have finished recovery attempts. As Windows isn't properly recognising the files, it might record over them. Can anyone else comment? I'd also advise against defragmenting the HDD 'for the duration'.

Short of buying an uninterruptible power supply, you could improve your chances against future outages when saving files by creating an intermediate folder. Copy the files to it first; then copy onwards to disc.

[A strange thing - XP seems more reliable when copying, not moving, things to disc.]
