Redump the game

Yeah the only way to recover an ISO loss is to redump the game as already stated.
There is no other shortcuts or options.

You could try using a file recovery program like Recuva.

Does programs like those really work? Have you tested it personally?

I love Recuva. I once deleted ~150 GB before setting up a backup. Recuva restored everything. Of course I didn't waste any time so the data wouldn't be overwritten.

Wow 150 GB of data huh, that's not little at all.
Glad it worked for you, then I guess it could have worked for the OP too unless maybe Recuva was one of the 2 programs he already have used.

Once my 250GB eHD got corrupted and i used getdata recover my files to get all my files (220GB or so), i'll search for this recuva also, it might be better

Turns out Recuva is made by the same company that made CCleaner, Piriform.

That's quite good news I guess.
