I have GetDataBack for NTFS and FAT as well. The program works very well. But there are often times where people really want their files back and don't want to try out these software at the risk of further damaging the drives.
At this point, you have to decide if you want to take a chance, or leave the chance with someone else.

Yeah, that's a good point. If it's a client, it's safer to go through someone else.
However, usually I tell my friends/family that I can do it for free, but there's no guarantee on what I can get back. Or they could pay someone $500, and there's still no guarantee what they'll get back. To some it's worth it, to some it isn't I guess.

He is serious. Put the drive in a ziploc bag and make sure the seal is tight since you don't want ANY moisture getting in. After it's chilled, take it out and plug it in again to see if it reads any better.
The first time I did that, I didn't even use a ziploc bag, just put it straight in the freezer.. that was a pretty huge fail.
