Hello, i was on my pc about 30 minutes ago and it just turned off. When turning back on it only went to the asus start screen where is would access the bios and what not. Also a weird sound was coming out of my pc where abouts the hdd is. It is a short - sorta grinding beep sound that occurs every second or so. I have checked my sata pots in the bios and the hard drive no longer shows up. Is it completly dead because i hav lots of a A-level work on it. How much would data recovery cost orwould it just be easier to suck it up and buy a new hard drive.
Thank you.

Sorry to hear this!

First, stop using this computer. In order to salvage any data files that are recoverable, connect this HDD to another computer as an external drive. Run a recovery program such as "RECUVA" and try to recover your files.

Professional data recovery services are very expensive; $1,200 to $2,000 and that too results are not guaranteed.
