Linux. Is there anything it can't do? Congrats on recovering your files.

For anyone else that runs into hard drive problems, if you are trying to recover files, resist the urge to repair the drive using Windows checks or various utilities. It is possible that these repair procedures could zap some or all of your important stuff. Best way is to just access the drive as it is using a Linux boot disc or when connected to another system.
