DATA RECOVERY:

Do not try to run anything on the hard drive until you recover the data.  Any writing to the disk may destroy data.

Little damage - use a device to slave your hard drive to another system to copy the data over.  I use this device at work (about $30 US):  http://www.cooldrives.com/saandidehadr1.html

Moderate damage - use file/partition recovery software.  There is a lot of freeware out there to do this - but I find it too confusing to use.  I use GetDataBack from http://www.runtime.org  It's free to see what it can recover, but it'll cost about $80 (US) to actually recover it.

Severe damage - contact a data recovery professional.  Very expensive, but worth it if you absolutely must have the data back!

Then run this bootable hard drive diagnostic procedure:  http://www.carrona.org/hddiag.html (read the details at the link) - Test ALL of the hard drives.
