You can also boot into INSERT,KNOPPIX or XP Live and run a chkdsk /r with out taking the drive out.  That is, if there isn't any physical damage to the platters, head, etc...

I've used this exact one and recovered all useful data from several friend's
failing laptop drives...and, wow, if you want to be someone's friend for
life just have one of these $6 baby wonders handy.  An NTFS disk repair
is often helpful if you can't get good data: do it under MY COMPUER and
right click on the drive, properties, tools, error checking...or, run CHKDSK
from the command box with the fix option.
 
Not sure about Mozilla in POP3 mode.  I only know the IMAP configuration
where the messages are on the server.  However, you might try some path
that looks like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\042nmj9j.slt\Mail\Local Folders

Be careful, the path string may be too long for a DOS program to handle on your
particular disk.

These are the guys I might send it to.  After my software scan I will
decide.  After talking with them they sound ok.

Note on Gillwares website about their one exception to a no-charge for
data
recovery.

Broken Warranty Seals
If the warranty seals are broken, we cannot offer the no recovery no fee
deal. Because previously-serviced drives without intact warranty seals
usually require significantly more time for us to diagnose and repair,
we
require a $150 upfront surcharge for servicing these drives. This
surcharge
is non-refundable.

In addition, the base fee for servicing a drive without intact warranty
seals is an extra $500 for a total of $1028.99 for Windows based drives
when
we're successful. If the platters have been visibly damaged during your
attempt you should save your money and not send it. If it was a
multi-platter drive and you attempted to remove the platters you should
save
your money and not send it.

I have the adapter on the way.  I will plug it into my desktop once
    
and
  
run a software recover utility once to see what happens.  After this,
    
I
  
will send it off to a cleanroom.  If a drive needs cleanroom work...
www.mjtdata.com says to send it to www.gillware.com
