Thanks for the tips guys.
I will try Scott's method first
Some of the Photos missing are from the tour de colorado drive we did way back in '06! I think I can recover those from a saved CD or from an old laptop though.
THe biggest thing (most important to me) that is missing that can't be recovered, are some photos of my son from May to July. I had done a really good job of backing everything up, so the bulk of it I can locate. Just hadn't backed up that recent stuff yet.
I'll keep you all posted on how it turns out.
