Stop using the computer in question immediately, if you haven't done
so already. Download an undelete program (here's one:
http://www3.telus.net/mikebike/RESTORATION.html but there are several
others to choose from; do a Google search) on a friend's computer and
bring it to yours on a floppy or CD to try.

I appreciate the response, and will most certainly keep it noted for the
future. However, at this time I think I need to investigate the possibility
of a commercial service that recovers data from failed hard drives.

I highly recommend Drive Savers. No, I don't work for them - I wish I
did! I've used them for years on behalf of clients, they've done a great
job, and they are wonderful to deal with. Not cheap mind you, but some
insurance companies are now covering data recovery expenses so check
with yours.

If the drive won't spin up, you'll need a "clean-room" recovery service.
This will cost upwards of $2,000.00.
If the drive WILL spin up, software recovery is usually possible.
Which is it?

I apparently misread your question. Although you clearly asked about a
service, I misread it as software. Sorry.
Be aware that these services are very expensive. You may need to spend
$1,000 US or more.

Drive does not spin up.

Ontrack at www.ontrackdatarecovery.com gave me a first-class service,
but not cheap.
They return a USB connectable hard disk containing folders matching
the original for both recovered good files & part-recovered bad files
(the latter usually unusable).
