    Dude, it costs an arm and leg to do it. I think it ranges from $500-$3,000.

    Have you tried the software Ontrack Recovery? It might help a little.

    software won't do me any good. Part of the hard drive itself went bad (the lil arm reader thingy)

    Apple used DriveSavers exclusively, but it was expensive.

    It's usually really expensive. There are some programs that can do some data recovery that you can download, and sometimes Linux can do it too. If your drive is dead/dying, sometimes you can put it in the fridge and get enough life out of it to get your data off.
