Normally if you have HDD noise it is bad.is the HDD set to auto in BIOS?

if the HDD is plugged in correctly, and it's not detected, you need to take it to a lab, and be prepared to pay up to $1000 for the data recovery.

yes it is set to auto in bios
and it is pluged in correctly
i have tryed in another computer and got the same problem
isn't there a linux version which you can use for data recorery or something

there are quite a few versions of anything, but if your PC doesn't even detect the disk, no version of linux will detect it instead

so does that mean there is nothing i can do
without speeding thousands of dollars
or is there someway i can repair it myself

trying to repair such a thing on your own is just a waste of time. and if you still have warranty, trying to repair the HD would cancel it.

I feel for you bud had a HDD crash once and had all my stuff on it.now i got 3 back up drives 2 external and 1 internal.

it had no warrenty so it doesn't matter if i make i worse
i just realy wanna fix and get data my self
be good thing to learn even if it is difficult or impossible
