not that I have ever heard of ?????



at this point you will need a data recovery program and a place to hold the restored files


most likely you will need to install an operating system on the new hard drive; then install the recovery software into the new OS drive

then recover the data from the old drive into a folder on the new drive

once your recovery has been completed, then zero fill (wipe and erase) the drive with killdisk or dariks boot n nuke >>>> then repartition the drive and reformat then you will be able to use your old drive for a slave drive

the hopes of any kind of quick & easy recovery are dim >>>>>>
