If you can put the drive in another computer to find out if it is dead then you know if it is the drive or the board.
After plugging it into my older computer it shows up into the device manager, but I can only access the files in the System Reserved partition. From the device manager, I can still see the properties of the other partition where my files are, but I can't access it, and if I use Windows 7's error-checking tool to scan it for errors it jams at 56807 files.
Also here are some of the record files saved on the System Reserved partition, if that can help:
