HITACHI Deskstar 120 GB Apple HDD Firmware 2002

[pasco]

Hi 2gether!

I have a Hitachi Deskstar Model IC35L120AVV207-1 Harddrive with Apple HDD Firmware 2002.

If I start the Computer it starts clicking followed by a fair "beep". This starts over and over, but only at the first computer start up. The drive doesn't show up in BIOS anymore.

I guess, the "Apple HDD Firmware 2002" doesn't mean, I can't read it on a PC Mainboard..I guess it's a Head failure. Or maybe PCB?

Can you give me a hint? Is there a chance to get it recognized again in BIOS so that I could access it with a special tool?

It was a sudden failure. It suddenly started clicking and beeping..

Thanks in advance

The advice is go to DR company to get a quote and a proper diagnostic.
