Hi all,
Yesterday my laptop's internal HDD had a physical impact when the laptop is turned ON. This made my laptop go 'off' suddenly. Then I tried to restart and the bootscreen says 'no media detected'.
I removed this internal HDD and connected as 'external' to my friend's laptop via a USB. It was slow but his laptop detected my harddisk and showed the files. I tried copying the content on to my friend's laptop and after 10 minutes his laptop went into 'sleep mode'. I didn't realize it then.
From then, when I try connecting my HDD to any other systems, the Drive partitions alone are being displayed, but not the files/storage space. When I try to open the drive, it waits for 15-20 mins and says 'not accessible'.
I am thinking it's a mechanical damage. The hard disk makes some occasional 'running/rotating and clicking' sounds.
Any advises on how to recover that data? Any help is appreciated.
