This case of a disk with broken platter and water damage from flood:

has supposedly had its data recovered (see http://www.dtidata.com/resourcecenter/2 ... revisited/ )

Can this recovery claim be real and if so, what methods could have been used?

There are many ways to do a recovery like this

1) Ask for the customer's backup, copy it to a drive, and give it to them.
2) Spend some time with EMule, copy data to a drive, and say 'Here's your Porn'.
3) Send it to Ontrack or Drivesavers
4) Use Salvation's IBM tool

And the list goes on.....

Numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all good

I use demolecularization process and molecular restructuring for the difficult cases 8)

I see!
Hey, I was thinking: doesn't it work the old trick to give a big hit to the hard disk, you know, as when the TV doesn't work, or the car doesn't start?
I think the hard disk will return to work, for sure!

Chuck Norris would do that way!
But Chuck Norris doesn't need a hard disk: he can store an infinity amount of files in his brain!

AH!AH!AH!
