yes there are many ways to recover your data. If you are new to serviceing pc's even if i tell you how to do it, you have no chance. I woud not attempt to recover anything from a hdd only if it there woud be absolutly critical data involved. Taking your hdd to a service shop can be v expensive.

if you are sure that your hdd is not pinning: first you you need to find a working, same model same make, same capacity hdd. i mean a IDENTICAL working hdd. For better results it is best if you can find one that it's closest to the manufacturing date of your busted one. after you do this i will guide you further

oh, and i must tell you that the chances of a succesfull recovery are low, there is a good chance that you will not recover your data. But there is nothin else you can do....so might as well try...

that was fast.

make sure once more: SAME manufacturer, MODEL!!!, and size. now you will need a v clean room/place(normaly this shoud take plaec in lab conditons) where there as as few particals in the air as possible. Wearing a mask(for your mouth so you wont spit or blow on the hdd) woud help, also get rubber gloves, and a screwrider for the screwes on the hdd. Now you will need to open your hdd. WHEN THE HDD IS OPEN MAKE SURE THAT YOU DONT"'T TOUCCH THE DISK's INSIDE. NEVER TOUCH THE DISK, or game over. carefully open the screws, and once you have ope it up take a look at the number of disks there are inside. Put your hdd back tougheter and let me know the number of disks.
