Seagate 2tb not visible in explorer

[bluezz]

hi,

i have Seagate 320 gb & 2tb hdds ... 2tb has Win 7 loaded & 320 gb has Win XP ... Problem is with 2tb drive ... bios recognises it bt doesnt load itself nor does it shows in Win XP (if connected as slave) ... Tried checking in disk management bt no luck ...

i need 2 extract my data from that drive ... plz help ... thanx

does the drive spin up and make any clicking sounds?

If it shows ID at BIOS, but not at disk management. Probably there is some issue causing loss of stability. Some relocation error, surface errors, weak recording heads... etc

if i take it 2 seagate ppl (as hdd is just 10 months old), will they b able 2 get my data back ???

Probably, but not for free. Expect at least $1000 bill for Seagate to recover it

omg ... $1000 ...

bt if they (seagate ppl ) repair it then no need 4 dr, right ... bt do they really repair such faulty hdds or just replace them ???

They do not repair your drive and send it back, they simply replace with a refurbished drive
