Hi Kevin,
Your data sounds VERY valuable- you should spare no expense to
recover it. If I were you- I would contact a data recovery service
provider immediately. When I had a drive that wouldn't spin up- I paid
$150 to a Data recovery service - it took about one week- but I got my
data back. (I think the company I used was CBL data recovery- but they
are probably not the only company out there).
Best of luck,
Todd S.
