redstone, i could take a look at your drive. if it's recoverable,
i'll let you know the charge (definitely lesser than $500) and you
decide to proceed or not. If I find it's not recoverable, no charge
to you and you can get back your drive. There'll be no physical
disassembling at this stage. If a new/used HDD is required to
stored the recovered data, it could be provided by you.
Drives that fail to work due to software failure (e.g. infection,
bad registry, missing MBR) are easily recoverable and costs less to
recover than those drives that fail due to hardware failure or bad
sectors.
PM me to arrange.
