HARD!!! Tech question for hdd junkies. Here is a fix for you!

I was working on my computer one night bc my dvd burner wasn't working right and its been about 2 weeks since i've restarted it. Since it was late at night (meaning I'm freakin' tired not paying very close attention to what I was doing and being a moron for doing this) I opened up my computer and discounted my 120gig WD hdd power cable. Then I get the wise decision to put to back in while my computer is on. I naturally got blue screen and I restarted my computer and it takes forever to boot now (reformat I know). Well I soon decovered that my 120gig hdd wasn't being recongized so I went to device manager, scanned for hardware changes and it pops up for about a split of a second. I later put my hdd in my external hard drive casing and turned it on and nothing. I'm out of ideas on what I should do because the information I have on there is of course long hours downloading and lan party raping of files. I just want to be able to save my files or at least some of them. I don't know what programs I should use like western digitals something Guard.

ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SAVE MY PRECIOUS FILES?

Word of advice don't be stupid for one night because you'll regret it later...

I think you killed your drive. Probably jammed the drive when u plugged in when the computer's still running. Its like trying to enter a car running at 100MPH when you're actually a hitchhiker, stationary by the side of the road.

If you really need the data, go for data recovery service.
