Is there anyway I can save my data from harddisk.

Just from doing some searching it appears the hdd is dead but I wouldn't give up yet until you try some other recovery options.

there's a couple links in that link along with troubleshooting steps.

Try removing the drive from its enclosure and connecting it directly to a SATA port on your computer's motherboard.

Can HD Sentinel see the model number of the drive inside the enclosure?

Actually the HDD is only a couple of months old and so in warranty,so i am trying not to physically make any changes in HDD,I only want to recover mine data inside.then I can exchange the HDD.
