How much is that data worth to you again? You gave the distinct
impression that it was quite important.

This could be something as simple as the drive connectors not staying
tight (SATA connectors are notorious for that). Or it could be something
much worse, as Nathan warns might be the case.

If you keep dinking with the drive in a flaky system, then you stand a
*real* chance of losing your data, *especially* since some of the
described flakiness directly relates to the drive functionality itself.

If you can't put this on another machine of your own, or someone you
know, then hopefully someone here will offer advice on your original Q
of data recovery people.
