Try to get the Hard disk of same type. You can try with changing the chip in the hard disk.
Don't use recovery software for many times. Because it may damage your hard disk further.

Hard disk data recovery is not a big deal. You can do it yourself ( it is less expensive).
Not all hard disk crashes are fatal. So before going to professional recovery try it yourself.

You can boot your system with bootable CD / Floppy. Install your operating system, now install the recovery software and recover data.
You can remove your harddisk and connect to another system as a slave or as external harddisk. Install recovery software.

To know iPhone Firmware Version

In Working iPhone (menu can be accessed), Go to Settings, then General and then About. Now scroll down until you get version.
In Locked Phone, with or without simcard ( simcard of other network). To get version, type *3001#12345#* and click dial in emergency mode, you will get Modem version. Based on the Modem version we can guess the iPhone Firmware Version.
