The HDD is making a strange noise and won't let the pc boot up or start, the green light comes on, the fans spin, but there's a strange noise coming from the HDD affected and the pc won't go any further than spinning fans and green light on.

Is there a way to save this HDD?

PS: I have another HDD, a 1TB and even with it connected the 500GB won't let the pc go past the green light and fans spinning.

If you imporperly unpluged cables and now it wont boot at all there is not much we can do.

You can TRY plugging into another computer with a usb-sata adapter to see if you can get the data off but that is pretty much it.

You probably damaged the PCB board on it, which is way more expensive to replace then just buying a new drive
