Recovery from a Western Digital 250GB disk

I received a WD 250 GB disk that span, and was even recognised by the BIOS. However, every sector read failed. When putting it on the PC3000 UDMA system (Russian hard drive recovery product) it indicated that part of the service area of the disk was corrupted. The next stage was a complete backup of all the readable firmware, and service area before the failed translation module was regenerated. It worked, and the drive was then imaged before running the data recovery process of the slightly corrupted NTFS drive.
