Suggestions for recovery of laptop HDD?

[talexb-SBdzbUvMQDunS0EtXVNi6w at public.gmane.org]

Hi folks,

A colleague of mine has fried his laptop HDD and has an old, not very
current backup. He'd really like to recover the data. Are there any data
recovery companies (local or otherwise) that you can recommend -- or not
-- in this situation?

Windows XP just grinds and announces that there's no disk available, and
Knoppix doesn't see the disk either. I don't know what brand of laptop he
has, but I can find that out if it will make any difference. Thanks!

Alex
