Try sticking the HDD inj the fridge for a few hours as a last resort, it just might work long enough for you to recover the data. Had to resort to this last ditch resort a few weeks ago at work. When the drive reached a temperature it was happy with, it worked long enough to recover everything.
eh? in the fridge?

... im missing a trick here....

hmmm fair do's one thing to do is try and restore the master boot record see if i can find that app that does it
