I made a post to the LUG about this some time ago and was unsurprisingly shat upon. Do you suspect head failure or platter failure? If so, get a quote (see below) from a data recovery shop and present that to your client. Let him make the decision. Ontrack Data Recovery (ontrack.com) is the most reputable shop out there IMO.
