Interesting article over at PC Review regarding advice on how to recover from a hdd failure. Includes techniques I’d never heard of, such as-
>Place the hard drive upside down in the drive cage
>Put the hard drive in the freezer overnight
The article states that many, if not most, hdd problems are due to a corrupt Master Boot Record, and that the SCANDISK and CHKDSK tools can sometimes/often correct such errors.

At this site you can compare data recovery quotes, I haven’t seen any other sites that does that, was very valuable in my case.

I wish you could troubleshoot all electronics by freezing them and/or turning them upside-down.
