Instead of waiting for somebody to bestow you with a magic (pun
semi-intended) bullet, set your disk aside, educate yourself on
basic/intermediate analog electromagnetics, learn assembly-level disk drive
programming, learn various disk encoding methods and how they work, buy
yourself a good oscilloscope and some various electronics tinkering gear
(and some ferrofluid and a microscope, as Guy reiterates), take apart some
PC harddrives and get them to work without using the built-in electronics,
and then *maybe* start to think about starting to try to recover your data.
The other option is to go out and find some way to make tons of money so
that the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars you'd need to throw at
data recovery centers is merely chump change for you. There's really
nothing else this group can do for you.
