Ontrack, Flashback Data and DriveSavers are three well-known companies that can attempt to retreive files off of a 'dead' hard drive. Pricing typically runs between a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars (US).

There is also some excellent freeware you can try. Recuva is one I have used.

well i dismounted the whole network drive mounted it in a usb box useless
remounted in network box and noticed that screws were used a grounds so remounted carefully and voila online for the past 8 hours without no network failure never seen that in over a year !

bottom line the chips that are outside the hardrive itself wich are probably used as the point of connection fior the network was the problem loose screw bad ground who knows any way getting importamt data out of it and will use it as a temp drive see how long this last
