i can get the hard-drive out of the external enclosure, as far as i can remember there were a few screws (not traditonal heads though, looked more like an allen key was needed) on the circuit board on the back.

would it literally have to be an identical drive for me to be able to do that myself?

i have an old western digital 40gb hard-drive that i'd happily dissemble in order to get this one working

as for people saying before that profesional data recovery would be worth more than the data, that's not true.....the data is mostly priceless and irrecoverable

If its as priceless as you said it is, use adeptus' method, buying another drive, as if you try to open it and get the plates into another drive a tiny slip may cost you all of your data

his method doesn't mention doing anything with the plates though, just changing the circuit board on the back
