I used to use Puppy Linux with all the tools for recovery work. It will often see things you can't see on a windows based machine. The control board is a good idea but you would be extremely lucky if that was the only thing wrong. Beyond that you have to go into the drive. It is fun if it's your own drive but not something I would like to do for a customer.
