We can recover the wallet for between $120 and $580Specialist companies can recover data from a hard drive, often for as little as $120.
In the worst cases when they have to recover the data in a clean room it only costs $580 maximum.
I live in Great Britain, so I posted a link to a UK company's examples of Previous Data Recovery Jobs and their prices.

What symptoms does the hard drive have?
Does it refuse to spin up, is it making a beeping sound, is it clicking, can it not be accessed by a laptop, is it no longer seen as a drive in My Computer?
A data recovery company could fix any of these problems.
People were calling COMM a scam coin on the Poloniex troll box because of the lost wallet.
We could sell a few stakes to pay a company to recover the data off the hard drive.
I'm sure they could do it in next to no time and restore confidence in COMM.
