Hi Blackcobra,

In this case, if you data is so important, it would go to a datarecovery company.
A fallen harddisk is one of the toughest cases to work on.

Best regards,

it shows Secondary HDD failure.

Have you changed the jumper setting?

[blackcobra]

yeah i have changed the Jumpers but no Use .

First time after falling i was able to see the HDD and i thought it worked , butwhen i restarted the Machine it wasn't working.


yes the data is important. I donno but i really want my HDD back...

( its still under warranty ( till April 2008 )
