HDD GURU FORUMS

I'm looking for recommendations or offers for the recovery of a 2008 SQL MDF file. Standard available recovery software tools fall short, so I'm looking for someone who may look at it from a different view.

Drive didn't fail, database just fails to load with a 5171 error. Other databases within the same drive & folder structure work as expected.

with MDF & LDF you might be able to fix few errors but i doubt the result will be good,
we had few cases on the past and it took one of Pro. SQL DB long time to just get it back (done manually)

too hard and takes a lot of time.

Thanks for the insight @eistein9, I'm aware that it may not be something that can be left to the software processes alone, but reaching out for hope that those much cleverer than I in the SQL world could have an answer.
