If it's that important try offering them $500 for full recovery, $300 for 90% recovery and $100 for 50% recovery. Often hosts don't try very hard because nothing is in it for them except perhaps avoiding a pissed off customer. It can take some time to properly recover a drive and some might not want to bother otherwise. It's easier to just say that it's gone. That said, if the drive is really gone and doesn't spin then recovery isn't possible through software alone.

I'm no fan of Webair but this statement isn't fair in this case. Drives go bad sometimes. You need to have backups.
