Try to create an image of the broken HD with Norton Ghost ... sometimes it's
possible to retrieve your data

To do that, you need to create a start-up disk for Norton Ghost
Then put the broken HD in Master and another one in Slave
Boot the pc from the disk and try to make an image

But in case it doesn't work ... you loose everything
