if the data is important my advice would be to send it to a DR firm (not a computer repair shop)

If you need to recover the data this is your only viable option.

Regards and good luck.

Absolutely nothing you can do yourself.

thankyou for the timely responses, i am not sure if this makes a difference but:
if i use MiniTool Partition Wizard Free it loads the hard drives for a long time and won't load but if i loosen then usb to the external 2tb hdd that is broken but not completely remove it, it shows up and i can "fix MBR" and use "explore partition" (it takes a long long time to "fix MBR") and when i explore partition it shows the director tree of my stuff... if i unplug it and plug it back in i have to fix the mbr again before i can see anything

does this change anything or is there still nothing i can do myself?

honestly it is dangerous to play with disk which is dropped.
however i can assist you further to diagnose it if there is absolutely no abnormal noise.
leave Team viewer details here.

Giving your tv details in public is generally a bad idea. :mrgreen:
