"hard drive recovered" as in data pulled from it that cannot be done just by connecting it to a working computer? If so, you're talking about data recovery, and that gets very expensive.
If you are at all linux savvy I could probably walk you through how to do this. It's relatively easy as long as it isn't a physical problem. Does the harddrive spin up at all or work intermittently? What makes you think it is going bad? - James
