Chris,<br> One thing that no one has mentioned yet is the possibility of sending the drive off to a recovery firm. It is not cheap, but if the data is important enough it is worth it. I have used Drive Savers [<a href="http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/">http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/</a>] whom you can reach via 0-800-89-0011. I am NOT affiliated with them in any way, however, they did save my butt about 11 years ago with a customer's HD.<br>
<br>Good luck,<br><br>Andy<br>
