Like gsimon says "no..."

Need specialist tools and knowledge to do this.

Some people may suggest something like "HDD repair 2.0". Free, but too risky if data required IMHO

If you wanna post to UK, I'll check it out for you at a good price

Hi Guys, thanks for all your inputs.... I could go on if I can't recover the data but it would make my life a bit easier if I do recover. I may say that the data is only worth $100 so wouldn't want to spend in excess of that. I would risk trying any recovery utilities that you may suggest.
