i ordered a new pcb from HDDZone. It is an identical pcb same rev#. But it will not work with the old drive. Being a newbie, I failed to transfer the bios chip to the new PCB. I tried removing the chip from the old PCB but damaged it in the process. I still have the PCB purchased from HDDZone with the bios intact. Can I still retrieve my data off this drive using this pcb? If so, How??? Help!!

Ok. Bios chip has 2 pins broken off. The new board has the new bios chip.

You have two options, read out ROM from the damaged chip, done that many times or reconstruct ROM.
