Haha, sorry for the bold text, I figured it was overlooked before and haven't been able to get on IRC recently, prepping for vacation
Probably a stupid question, but I assume you've tried chkdsk /f /r to recover the corrupt sections of the drive? It might be worth running some forensics tools against the drive to see if we can get anything else off of it, but I think the first steps are to get as much as we possibly can off of the drive and get it backed up so we aren't doing needless work. I can assist in this area as I have some experience in data recovery.
