Also take a look at Knoppix. It's a bootable Linux deal and I've managed
to read damaged "Windows" drives fine with it. Makes me think that
Windows "damages" a drive that "Windows" repair utilities (even those
that boot themselves) can't read. I know this sounds crazy but I've
personally seen this behavior more then once...

Try SpinRite first ... $90 software ... http://www.grc.com/intro.htm.

It sounds weird, software fixing hardware, but from what I understand it
can
fix a good percentage of problems. You have nothing to lose.
