My parent's HDD has died. Bios does not recognize that the HDD is connected. I tried different sata cables, different sata connections, different power connections, and finally all of the above in a different computer. None of the computers recognize that the drive is even present.
At startup, i can feel the HDD spin up, but nothing other than spinning. Prior to failure I had Copied about 24GB from a different HDD onto the dead one, and then burned the data to a couple DVD's. Upon next reboot: "Insert system disk to continue".
The HDD is a seagate 7200.11 *cringe* Firmware hp24.
What kind of chances do I have of recovering files from the disk if i replace the PCB? Other than that my only option (if i want the files enough) seems to be to pay lots of money to send it of to a HDD data recovery place. Any suggestions on a business of choice for the last option?
