As long as the disk is still spinning, and the heads are moving, you stand some chance of getting some stuff off. Stick the drive in another PC and set it as a slave rather than master, and you may be able to read stuff off it directly. I have used some software called 'recover my files' with some success when the drive has become otherwise unreadable.

HTH, Phil
