Damaged Premier Pro file. Should I give up?!

[zohaiba36331448]

Unfortunately my harddrive become responsive and stopped working. I took it for data recovery and managed to get the Premiere files, however, whenever I try to open any of the project files, it comes up with the same error that the file is damaged. I tried to open auto-save files; however, I am experiencing the same issue.

I spent endless hours in the edit and it is very disheartening for the project not to open. My last option is to start editing from the start again which isn't a viable option for me.

I was wondering if Adobe or any external services repair damaged Premier Pro files? I am in urgent need and appreciate any help that I can get.

I don't know if he is still doing it, but this user has recovered corrupted project files for others:
