Anyways man, I highly recommend you stop playing around yourself - You said you have some skill, but the fact you didn't take a sector by sector clone the instant this happened to a drive with important data on it, nor were able to fix/troubleshoot a windows boot issue the first time around, tells me you don't YET have enough skill to tackle this on your own with any significant chance of success.
I'm not slagging you, just telling you straight up that you need to find better help on this if you want to significantly improve your odds of getting that important data back - I really don't want you to lose data; I despise when that happens.
Getting a sector by sector copy of that drive is ABSOLUTELY essential. No matter who/where you take that drive to, ensure that is step #1 on their list of things they do. If they don't have/can't make a list of steps they will take, RUN AWAY
