let's make it simple.
place ur hard drive into an external hard drive enclosure and plug it to a different PC / laptop and check if it could be detected.
go to disk management to check if drive is detected.

@siopao1984 & @butitoy:
if sa lain pc nya lahos sata kay dugay ka load ang bios then NOT DETECTED xa
if gamit ug sata-to-usb converter kay dli ghapon maDetect

same ra bah ang external hard drive enclosure ug sata-to-usb converter, sir? kana rmn gd converter naa nko

ur SATA to USB i think is from CDRking. naa ko anah and its just the same design and purpose as of external enclosure minus the enclosure lang jud

anyway murag daot na jud na ang HDD mo ky d naman ma detect. na check mo na if naay clicking sound?

yup kana jd sa cdr-king
it clicks for about 4-6 times (after i plug sa usb) then after wla na dayon, dli mo tingog, dli mo init (i think tungod wla na gaTuyok ang disk)
also if plugged na xa kay magCge xa ug detect-undetect sound (kana sa system sounds), mkaBantay ko ana kay mg headphone mn ko gd and ma wla sd jd xa kadjut sa Disk Management

naa pa ni hope maRecover ang files if ako i hatud ug shop?
