I’m going to recommend giving Recover my Files (a Windows program) a try, Doc. I’ve used it to pull data from a couple bad drives in the past and have been VERY impressed with the results. It’s $70 for one license for v5.
I don’t remember what I paid for my copy of v4 but when you lose 50+ gigs of pictures and this program restores them all, it was totally worth it to me.
You can download the trial and scan your drives to see if it detects the files and if it does, then you can pay the price to buy a license and actually recover them.
