Also..what kinda failure you are facing? I have managed to recover 100% from my blown PCB on the HD...by replacing the PCB w/ the exact one frm another drive. Most bad sector failure can be recover...pretty easily...unless your motor died.
I agreed, if it is a bad sector, then you can basically recover all your data except for the data that is in the bad sector. You can do the recovery yourself and send the bad drive back to the vendor for a replacement. The old school way of doing this is use the bad drive and set it to slave and make it a second drive on another computer. I hope that help. Soon, you will be able to do raid on desktop.
