Unhappy corrupt zip file - NEED HELP!!!


OK guys, here is my problem.
I have a very important MS database file of about 4Mb. This file has been zip on 2 stiffies. The zip file is about 1.5Mb. My problem is that the last disk had some bad sectors on it. So when I try to unzip it, it would not.
I ran a NDD on it, which marked the bad sectors. But I can still not unzip it. Because it is the second disk, there is only a little bit of info on it. About 47kb in zip.
So what I want to know is if there is any way to extract the info, even if only from the first disk.

Any ideas/help would be GREATLY appreciated.
