If your drive meets the following criteria I can always do a recovery.

• Drive is not doing the Click of death.
• Drive is detected in Windows.

Cost: 

• Shipping to Canada
• Purchase of new Hard Drive to transfer data to Depending on Size.
• Shipping back to U.S.

Certainly less than $1000.

Figure out how much it would cost to ship your old drive plus new drive to canada and back, and I can do it.

Why would I do this and not charge for it? Well because I'm crazy and I do it for friends and family all the time and for the most part, the process is pretty automatic.
