so my Western Digital SE Caviar 120GB (WD1200JD) hard drive crapped out on me.
i use it as a secondary hard drive and it has tons of valuable data. the hard drive turns on. i can feel it heat up, but the computer doesn't read it.
my mobo is an asus p4s800d-x. when i hook it up to my mobo and load up windows xp pro, it freezes. i tried a sata controller that i used to use and when i load up windows the loading bar goes extremely slow. with the sata controller, xp loads up but it still doesn't read the hard drive.
any suggestions other than throwing it away would be useful. that data on my hard drive is extremely important.
