I have a 250 gb seagate SATA hdd installed in my pc which i surely believe is dying and idk how much time it will 'run' before failing compeletely.
Even though the drive is being showed up in the bios i cant boot it as when i do i get a disk read error and the system just wont boot up. The drive also makes a clicking noise just after startup but it disappears shortly after which iam really scared of but it spins normally afterward. I also ran the windows diagnostics test according to which the drive is 'running' but it still cant load the os. The possibility of faulty data cables is also ruled out as i tried hooking it up in my friend's pc but the same error occurred
That drive contains a lot of precious data including games, music, documents but most importantly the photos which i HAVE NOT backed up!!
Can the data recovered by creating an image of the disk on another hard drive or should i do something else? Whats the best option according to you? All of your suggestions will be highly appreciated!
