I'd agree with Darrin. If you care about the data on that drive do not connect it to anything but a known working system. Frys sells external drive enclosures that will convert SATA to USB for around $50 which would allow you to mount it on your mac, but the best solution may just be to get to a friend's house with the drive and see if you can mount it. (Preferrably as a read only volume!) I don't have any direct experience with Data Recovery services, but the last time someone checked with Data Doctors here in town, the quote was pretty high. From Data Doctor's website, data recovery solutions start at $350 and go up from there. It is my understanding that most data from just about any drive CAN be recovered. The question becomes does the cost of recovery outweigh the hassle of getting your data straightened out. Good luck!
