My 15 year old sister was annoying the hell out of me all night, after telling her to knock it off a millions time I finally had had enough and got up and attempted to chase her down. She ran past my laptop, where my cords are plugged into the wall and knocked everything off the table onto the floor. Everything seems to be ok except for my 500gb external hard drive. The Power cord was damaged, but the unit is still receiving power. It connects to my laptop through USB 2.0 and when I plug everything in, my computer does not recognize it. I'm really unsure what to do, if there is anything that i can do. I probably had around $200,000 worth of date, projects, software on there. Is my only option as disk recovery? If so, is there any reputable company that isn't going to charge me well over $1000 to get it done?

Thanks for your help
