Default Help: Currupted USB memory stick

A mate of mine saves work on his USB stick. He's been on holiday for the last 2 weeks so not used it. He's plugged it into his PC this morning and all the file structure is currupted.
I've tried running scandisk and chdsk on it but the computer says no

Is there any way to recover the information from it? All the files that were in the sub directories are now unreadable.

I've used a program in the past called file scavenger, cost around $20 but worked a treat on my knackered hd.
