Yes; I've had a hard-drive recovered by a firm in West London. Hang
on:

http://www.datarecoverydirect.co.uk/

I was upgrading Debian on my laptop, and forgot that /usr was mounted
-ro. I ended up with a non-usable machine. I thought "I'll plug the
hard drive in to another box" and stuck the 2.5->3.5 adapter in the
wrong way round. Smoke.

They completely recovered it onto a newer, larger drive.

It wasn't very cheap, but it was a *lot* cheaper than some other
companies that do the same job.

cheers, Rich.
