If the drive was one of the dodgy Barracuda drives, Seagate will
provide free data recovery:


From: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/01/18/barracuda_firmware_upgrade_and_recovery/
:

The company will provide a free firmware upgrade for those affected by
the problem, and if you've lost data thanks to this firmware issue, it
will provide free data recover services as well.
