HDD Recovery Help Needed :(

Tried plugging it into my gaming PC, just sits there on bootup for about a minute after IDing the drive, and cant see it under Windows

Looks like its completely buggered, then.

Got a backup of most stuff from two weeks ago so it's not a total disaster. Thanks anyway for the suggestions

i no this mite sound strainge but try hitting it with a hammer not to hard it could just be stuck

Hell anythings worth a try

Will try a rubber mallet...
