Richard, Local data recovery? For decades, Novato's Drive Savers http://www.drivesavers.com/contact.html have been one of the best in the world. They are not cheap. They have recovered data from drives half melted by fire. They have their own programs, and take platters off into drive mechanisms for recovery. It might be worth playing with the drive and programs first yourself - as I said, these folks aren't cheap. Quality of data recovery companies and prices vary immensely. Good luck...

You might check out Spinrite. While I have not tried it, I have heard some good things about it if you would like to try to recover the data yourself. I believe the cost is $89.

Do not do this if the data is really really important. The more the disk is in operation the better the chance of further data loss. Spinrite is a really nice tool though, but typically when people get to the point of wanting to use a data recovery service the data in question is more important.
