Data Recovery

This is just a desperate cry for possible help...

My hard drive failed the other day, of course no imminent warning. Been a while since I bothered to back it up, the last back up took so many hours and it seemed to just try and mirror my harddrive including all of the empty space so 14 CD's later and still no where near completion I stopped it.
Anyway, I've put the hard drive in for data recovery at Best Buy (USA) Now if they're unsuccessful what are my options in getting anything more off the hard drive? Mostly I'm after about 1-2 Gb of photos and documents from a 160Gb drive.
I understand if those sectors are damaged that there is no hope. But would a more specialist place be able to do a more significant job than Best Buy?
