More Information

MY western digital hard drive possbily died. I was using my computer and then all of a sudden my pc starts lagging and barely responding. so i figure it was just a windows memory leak so i rebooted. Then when my pc is turned back on it tells me it can't find my primary master hardive and it tells me to putin a boot disk :S so i check the connections, its a sata two drive, i check the power and the sata cable. try it again it still tells me its not detected again. afterwards i check the bios, the bios detects the hardrive as a western digital 250 gb drive. can anybody tell me whats going on ? and help me revocer my data.?
