Do you mind sharing what it is that's wrong with the drive you need recovered? Is it a boot drive that won't boot anymore? Did it start giving off a lot of noise and clatter? Or what?
In many cases where a drive has gotten corrupted, I've had excellent success just connecting it to a working system as an additional drive and then running the full Disk Check program from Windows. If it's formatted to NTFS, you've got a good to excellent chance of restoring the drive. But, keep in mind, it can take literally HOURS to get things back to normal.
I've done this with a few boot drives and the people were able to get back into Windows again afterwards with no problem.
So...exactly what's the issue with this one?
