I have a Corrupted ext3 partition, which does not mount
or nor fsck work on it. However i am sure data on this partition is safe.

So far i have tried, Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery which shows 100% directory stucture, i can also preview pics and text files. but being a demo version, i can't "recover" data :(

Code: 
gaurish  ~  $   sudo fsck /dev/sdb6
fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)
e2fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)
fsck.ext4: Filesystem revision too high while trying to open /dev/sdb6
The filesystem revision is apparently too high for this version of e2fsck.
(Or the filesystem superblock is corrupt)


The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

anyone know any Reliable data recovery tools ?

Testdisk lets me make a Image of whole partition, with size in GBs. filename is "image.dd"

wonder what to do next?

I know you probably already tried this but have you tried bootnig your system with a bootable USB stick and tried recovering data that way ? Or possibly botting into windows and copying from there? If you have disregard the post.

one thing I will suggest is to use R Studio Recovery(windows). But its not free. It's fairly good at recovering from ext3 partitions too.

It seems there is free linux version too but I havent checked if that works well too or a crippled one.
