My old hard drive(Western Digital 1600JS - SATA and 160 GB) failed suddenly. It came with my win xp dell desktop. I am trying to see if I can recover my personal files from that. I checked with a professional and they said the drive is dead and will cost thousands of dollars to retrieve the data.
I got an external enclosure and connected my hard drive to it, but still could not access it. I also tried to run diskpart in another machine, but the drive is not displayed at all. I also did not hear any sound at all after connecting to the external enclosure. I looked at some softwares, but they are more for deleted files, is there a way I can get the data from the drive?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
