My worst nightmare has happened. One of my twin Hard drives has had to be removed, due to a disk read error occurring. I am now using my remaining hard drive. I had backed up most of the files, but only up until early October, my mistake I know. The drive contains around 150gb of data.

Can anyone suggest the quickest and cheapest way of getting the files back, that wouldn't involve sending it to a lab etc. Is it possible to fix it another way.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
