Non-booting hard disk

Hi folks

I've just had a Seagate hard disk returned from i365 (Seagate data recovery agent) with new firmware after it bricked. All the data is there

but it won't boot

. I've tried Windows repair disk and a couple of programmes I downloaded (EasyBCD and VistaBootPro) but no success.

I have another bootable drive in the computer so can run Vista. Does anyone have any ideas about what else I can try? I don't want to re-install Vista as some of the programmes on the disk have a limited number of times they can be installed (and as I cannot boot from the disk I cannot uninstall them.)

Thanks for any help.
