Guys few days ago my HD started giving problems .. As it was running too slow and making weird sounds .. After that it crashed and it wasnt even gettin into windows so i put another HD into ma PC and used the old one as an slave and then i try to Transfer files from my old HD to new one .. But it was taking abt 50 mins to copy an 700 MB movie :/ .. But suddenly it crashed again and now i Cant even use this drive as slave :s

Well my HD is in under warranty but i really need to recover my OLD data ..

well if it is showing up in windows then i can help recover documents,videos and pics and some other extentions. If only in BIOS then obviously its gone. Pro help is not that cheap. Might cost you the price of hdd.

Scan the whole hard drive using CHKDSK at the command prompt. Your drive probably has bad sectors or the head mechanism could be failing.

There are definitely people who can recover the data for you but you'll have to shell quite a bit of money.

You could also check out the following thread Hard Drive Resuscitation
