Tom,
Why are you attempting to recover your data, using a computer system that failed and
trashed your physical drive? In my opinion you are asking for more problems.

I believe you have 2 problems:
1. Figure out why your system failed; fix same
2. Recover your data on your trashed drive(s)

You can attack these 2 problems in any order. But first, I would physically separate
problem #2 from problem #1.
