Yes, I am still hoping for a one lucky mount and copy.
If you're only trying to salvage the data, the old school method for dead HDs is to place them in the freezer for at least several hours so that they're 100% frozen, and then attach them to an ATA bus as fast as possible, boot, and work as fast as possible. I've saved the data on a couple dead HDs by freezing them, and working fast. Dead HDs almost always have a problem with overheating, and they heat up fast, so it pays to plan ahead and have somewhere to move the data to ASAP. Once they start getting hot, they die fast.
