Hello jay098, sorry to hear you have run into problems? What brand is your drive? Have you tried it on another unit?

Hello jay098. If the device is detected in the device manager the best thing you can try now is the DYI (Do It Yourself) software. There is a free trial version as well with a FAQ on how it works that will require reading. Now, if you do not want to do it yourself we do have an In-Lab recovery service .
Another alternative is to take it to a computer store to have it revised and diagnosed. Best of luck.

When you boot the PC, do you get a S.M.A.R.T Status warning? If not-okay, first of all, is your motherboard an American Megatrends board?

If you don't get a S.M.A.R.T Status warning, your HDD is working, but the PC might have a bad SATA port.
