The fact you didn't realise that this can mean the difference between success and total failure is the reason why you should
stop immediately and seek advice from someone who really knows what they are doing! Read
this "success" story of near failure and think about the fact that there are precious few cautionary tales along the lines of "I fucked up my drive because I thought I knew what I was doing".
If you choose to take my advice and the drive contents are really important to you (which I suspect is not the case otherwise you would simply replace it and restore from backups) then get in touch with Scott Moulton at myharddrivedied.com, a guy who is helpful and very well informed when it comes media recovery.
The tone of this post may seem harsh but previous posters have quite innocently given you poor advice to the point where I had to step in. Best of luck and please remember
The Tao Of Backup.
