Sharepoint 2010 Unattached Content Database Recover doesn't access all sites

A client says he deleted a sub-site from a site collection, which caused the entire intranet to become unavailable (Page Not Found errors when navigating to any part of the site).

I'm using "Unattached Content Database Data Recovery" in Central Administration. I can open the db, but only 2 sites are available for selection (both personal sites). However if I open the database in SQL Server Management Studio, I can see content for all the other sites in the collection. Is there any way to access this content?

I am. This client isn't.

Yes, that was my first question to him, too.

Have you tried attaching the content db to another farm just to be sure that you can't access the content?

KoenVosters: yes, tried that with the same result.

I don't have much sympathy for this guy either, but it's interesting that the information is apparently still in the database. I didn't want to dismiss this entirely without asking around.
