Steve, I've been fixing and around computers over 20 years, if your guy is
not opening the drive to recover data I know of a few places that do a CSI
type recovery. It ain't cheap, I'll guess between $750 and $1200, and you
only pay for the shipping if they can't get the data back.

And even if he isn't opening the drive he should atleast hgave an absolute
read program to try like Norton Ghost.
