Hi Mike,
I've mentioned this before...
Heard of Steve Gibson of grc.com?
Well, he has the
best HDD maintenance & recovery program out there.
Simply called "spinrite" & all the 180 kb of it will cost you just $89.00, US.
Well worth it though.

Will recover a so called "dead drive" to full functionality provided it's still mechanically able.
Check the Testimonials.
