Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Hi all.
I have a Seagate ST2000DM001
PN: 9YN164-500
FW: CC48
Connected to motherboard with SATA3 cable.
I have very important documents, videos and photos. It always worked without problems, until now.
Neither Bios nor Management HDD programs detects the hard disk.
I have try with different cables, and with an external interface for SATA HDD. Always the same.
You can view what happens when I connect the HDD in this URL:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6Hy0X8yn_8NcXM3Y0dYQlFiN3hFSEl1My1RWU5sUndrZEJZ/view?usp=sharingFirst, the HDD try something with a pi pi piiiii, pi pi piiiii sound, and then it stops definitely. And the PC can't detect it.
Apparently, the electronic board is ok (no burned diods).
The content is very important for me. Thank you very much.

Important data, yet you choose to open the drive and run it open?
Sorry to say, that was a bad move

Anyway, it's physical issues (heads and/or media) so beyond DIY.
You'll need pro intervention but expect lower chances and a higher price now you've tampered with it

No offense but i like the part when filter flew away
agreed with pcimage, it was bad move opening a hard drive in non-clean environment and than powering it up.
send it to a PRO and see if there is still some hope for it.

Thank you for your answers. I am sad.
I will try commands with ttl adapter. What are the commands for this model?
And finally, I will try to freeze the hard disk. Miracles exist.
Thank you again.

Sorry but there are no miracles that will help you to recover the data. Do not play with ttl, do not put it in the freezer. Trust the forum members and give that case to a pro. It's a ST2000DM001 drive, these fail often badly (bad heads, media damage) and are hard to recover even by professionals.
Best regards

I like the part where miraculous freezer combined with TTL will repair definite platter damage and physically fix damaged heads.
#not.

Of course, that why Kroll On Track have those huge freezers...Not.
If you care of the data, stop playing with it and take the drive to a recovery company.

Thank you again. I will not try with TTL or freezing. I will contact with a professional company.

If you're looking for that sort of miracle, perhaps you should be bringing the drive to a faith healer. Perhaps they can resurrect it from the dead.

Years ago my supervisor told me of a field service technician who was caught running his hand over a PCB while his psychic wife guided him via telephone. It wasn't clear whether she was helping him locate a bad chip or exorcising the board's demons.
