Hard Drive Help - geek type friends!

[make_your_move]

I'm searching for an identical hard drive to the one that died and appealing to my geek-type friends for help - it was an ASUS laptop. Here's what the tech wrote:

"It has to be a Momentus 7200.3, 320 GB with a date 09354 and the Site is WU. This will be the easiest way of keeping the financial cost down by finding this exact drive so we can transfer the data over."

Please help if you can, or put the word out to any of your geek friends that might be able to help. I would really, really appreciate it.

So they need to do a sector-by-sector copy to get the data?

They can't read the data from the drive, and move it to another format [thumb drive or DVD]?

That doesn't make much sense to me. My regular data recovery team doesn't do that.

Platter switch. If the platter is good and hardware is bad, just swap it out and over.

that strikes me as an expensive way to do data recovery.
