It doesn't get your info back, but at least you don't have to spend another $200 on a new hard drive.
And with Maxtor you'll need it too...

Personally I wouldn't get a Maxtor if my data depended on it... not after hearing all the horror stories and the advice my friend (who worked in a computer store) gave me to stear clear of Maxtors, as they kept coming back after a couple of years...
Plus the whole issue of the Maxtor HD (came with my pc) in my server with all my stuff on it dying on me, that traumatised me a bit...
It's Hitachi or Seagate for me...
