Data Recovery

Ontrack (www.ontrack.com) is among the best. Chances are it can be
recovered - but the cost won't be trivial - figure on $5,000 and up for a
moderate amount of data.

seen this happen with my neighbors system. take the drive out of the system
and put it into another system as a second drive. it may not be completely
dead yet. try rebooting several times and see if you can get to it after
each reboot. if you can, quickly copy the data files you need to the other
drive. if it does become accessible, consider it the very last chance
you'll get to retrive your files. never know, you might luck out...
