IMHO: depende sa physical damage ng hdd ang possibility ng data recovery. Kung sunog talaga pati ang platter ay na-damage sa palagay ko wala ng chance to recover data. Kung control board ang problema pwede pa kung mapalitan ang board ng exact same specs. Kung talaga very important ang data na irecover, HDD manufacturer ay may data recovery service but be prepared to pay a good amount of money.

Kung accidental formatting lang ang dahilan ng data loss, getdataback (as posted above) is one of many good data recovery softwares in the market. I used this several times with high percentage of success.
