Good day people,
This is Sheeraz. I have a SATA hd (500gb)
One fine day out of nothing my computer showed me an error saying my hard disk might be unstable and may crash and i should make a back up and in the process of making the backup my pc rebooted and now it does not boot anymore..
I checked my hard disk by connecting it to other computers as a slave disk..

Now the thing is that it is being detected in the bios , but when i boot in the OS it doesn't show it. Even when i try to install a new OS then two things happen -
1:- When i try to install Win XP .. during the setup it shows the partitions but when i try to either delete or format a partition it says it cant and aborts.
2:- And when i try to install Win 7 Ultimate.. it just doesn't detect the drive itself.

I need help desperately because I am a VFx artist and all my work that i have done yet is on it, including a lot of pics which are equally precious.
Any help or suggestions will be truly appreciated.

The drive seems to be getting bad.
Don't use the drive too much.
Just get another drive and use any good data recovery software to recover data.
The drive may stop being detected BIOS soon so you have to acts.

I mean to say that i have a working Hard disk( Which is an IDE disk ) and a working Microsoft XP

But my disc which is nt working is a SATA disk. And it is not being detected in the OS.

If the drive is not coming up then get in touch with somebody who can fix the drive. Because you can only recover the data if you get the drive to work again.

I had a similar problem. Showed it to all my friends and finally one of them gave an advice to go to one company in Studio City named ASAP Data Recovery and I'm very happy that I used their services. All my data was recovered. Just Google them, if you still have the problem.
Hope it will help Laughing

Yeah a data recovery tool is very helpful when it comes to retrieving all your valuable data from a computer that has errors and similar stuff. However, it is very crucial to determine what causes the computer error prior to jumping into a conclusion of getting a software like this because it may worsen your problem. Also, computer experts or professionals can also assist you when it comes to restoring your system. Hope this helps.
