About 2 months ago I bought a samsung s2 portable 500 gb. It has worked fine until yesterday. It slipped down from where it was laying (while plugged in and running) and was hanging the 20 cm usb-cabel. Now I can't get it alive. When I plug in the usb-cabel a spinning noise appears and lasts for about 5 seconds, before the diode light start flashing. The disk is not showing up in windows and bios (at least not in the list over boot devices). Can anything be done to save the disk and/or its content?
