seriously, sorry if i offended you but please don't give people advise about stuff you don't really have a clue about.
not saying you wanted to spread misinformation, but a quick read of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_recovery#Logical_damage and you would've learnt something that could be brought to immediate use. wouldn't that be awesome? aren't you trying to absorb as much useful information as possible? so, do it now!
