Revisiting this post because it's been a year & I still haven't had success with this drive primarily because I put it aside for awhile. Is there anyone new or old that can point me in the right direction. Today I tried Ultimate Boot CD but still not recognizable.

Toshiba HDD2H01 MK3252GSX 320G

Have you tried connecting it directly to the SATA port of a PC, and checking if its spinning , detecting in bios, or clicking etc.?

I meant , connecting the drive to a Desktop PC via the SATA ports(not USB ports) and checking in the BIOS if the drive is detecting (Using the Original PCB of the Drive).

If the drive is showing up in the BIOS, then you can think of further steps.

If your data is important, its not worth taking DIY risks.
