Hello Guys, i have been facing problems in 2 of my hard drives.
First one is 1 Tb WD caviar green WD10EADS. The drive was making problems a few days ago ( its installed as a 2nd sata storage device along with primary boot drive WD green 1 TB WD10EZRX ) HD tune showed that pending sector count and reallocated sector count was increasing. Suddenly all partitions are gone and minitool partition wizard is only showing a single raw drive with no partitions at all and a label " bad drive ". How can i recover data from this drive as its still appearing in Bios.

2nd one is 160 GB WD 1600AABS spare drive ( not installed in PC ) with windows installed on it. I used it in emergency if something goes wrong with OS on main drive. When i tried to connect this drive with PC its not appearing in BIOS. It was working properly last time i disconnected it from PC and HD tune results showed no big problems at that time. Dont know what happens now..

any help would be appreciated thanx....:??:

There are a few ways you can get your data back. This program is pretty good.

It makes an image of the drive (This is good because if it is dieing then you will have an image before it fully dies and can get data back), then you can use another program to mount it and then use a free recovery software to get your files back. I've used it in the past on a few items even USB Thumb Drives and have gotten quite a bit of data back. I found that reading the hard drive Backward with that program gives best results. But i think you need a drive the same size because it backs up the drive even the empty space.
