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
Heh, I appreciate your concern. I already used the program recommended to make a clone. This thread is a little old, I think someone else bumped it because they were having problems too.
