I located another drive/same model and swapped the controller board but it was a no go. It seems the actual motor on the bad drive had died. Thaanks for the advice.

Or if everything fails but the data is very important for you,there are guys who are good with the hardware aspect of it and know how to take apart a hard disk and retrieve all the data for you even from a microwaved hard drive,so yours isn't really a goner yet,if you can't do it by your own just take it to the experts.
I'm still working on recovering my data from my crashed hard drive, but i've found that out of "GetDataBack" and "recover my files" and 'file-rescue plus', FRP finds more files than the other too. The bad sectors are too fooked for the other two to search the drive effectviley and yield very few results. FPS finds everything but it freezes when you copy too many files.
See ya in another life, brother.
I'm assumig that the drive is a seagate 1.5TB drive that has been plagued with issues since its launch and required a firmware upgrade to fix the issue.
You can try the utilities from Hiren's Boot CD which has several HDD recovery tools. You can see a list of tools/utilities included at the following link
