A company i freelance to (the other side of the care park from my house) can do this (we get it a lot), they have some very expensive government forensic software that can get data back, and as is often the case send it to a clean room to remove the platter(s).

I can get a discount since i cleared a rootkit off there firewall
yesterday :-)

To be honest tho, i'd first try to find a matching disk and swap the boards over as mentioned by someone else.

You can contact me at isaac.close@??? if needs be.
