I have a Samsung SP0802N 80 GB @ 7200 RPM IDE (PATA) drive.Today, when I started my computer, the computer booted up normally & Windows XP SP2 Pro also loaded without any problems.But later, when I restarted my computer, the hard disk started making noise & stopped detecting.Sometimes it gets detected & sometimes it doesn't.But when it does get detected, the OS doesn't load.I didn't install anything or modify any BIOS settings.I have tried changing the cable and jumper settings.I have another hard disk which is running fine.I know my hard disk has gone bad & I would need to send it for repair/replacement.Now all that I want is to retrieve my data.Is there some way to retrieve my data?Kindly help me.
