Need a tool that can scan an entire drive (which has no partition

I need this so that I can restore each ext? partition to a separate HD.
So far I have found a windows based tool from EaseUS.com , but is
not open source and
is not free.
a few years ago I wrote a DOS partition table over the top of
a USB drive containing an ext3 or ext4 partition, holding a couple
hundred gigs of my son's anime collection. one could deduce that
he wasn't happy.
I found a program named something like "recover disk" or something
like that for sale for a reasonable price (39.95??? comes to mind),
from some outfit in India. they offered versions for windoze and
for linux, and both could allegedly recover stuff from ext partitions.
so I bought it, and with some head-banging managed to recover all
the important files.
I can dig around to see if I can find the actual name and/or a
URL, let me know if you want.

Thank you Fred.
I am more keen on open source, because at this point, after
having infected several windoze machines with for purchase
software, I do not wish to indulge :)
