hard drive problems

[ITH]

it doesnt show up in bios and it doesnt show up in my computer..

i dont think it turns on, or if it does it locks up cause it freezes at the screen right before the windows loading screen every once in a while. its not the OS hard drive its just a storage as well..

If it doesn't show in the bios then its probably toast. If it wont power up then the likelyhood of recovering data short of a data recover $peciali$t is slim to none. There's always a chance that the lag of the power supply that it's hooked to went bad but I wouldn't hold my breath to long on that one.

I just lost 300 gig of shit on a drive that took a shit. Major bummer.....

I was having problems with my hard drive and it all came down to the RAID Drivers I was using. Might not be the same for you, but if you use SATA make sure to download the newest drivers form your motherboards website.

If it doesnt power on, check your cable, try a different molex.

If that still doesn't power it on, stick it in the freezer for a bit, then plug it in quickly and power it on, grab all you can off it if it stays on, and then use it for target practice.
