[SOLVED] HDD died overnight?

[XNexis]

Hey, i think my HDD just died overnight... yesterday my PC ran normal and today i tried to boot it up but the PC was stuck at the BIOS screen with the BOOT Led up... i removed my HDD (so only my 2 SDD's were left) and the PC booted normally... i even tried using the SATA and Sata power connector from 1 of the ssd's for the HDD but that didn't work either.. is there any way to save that HDD?

Motherboard: ASUS B550-F Gaming WiFi

Is the HDD detected in BIOS? Does it spin?

Do you hear the platters spinning when you plug the power connector to the HDD?

Yea i can hear it spin. But can't even get into the BIOS with the HDD plugged in

Even with different cables and SATA ports?

Try to reverse the cable's ends to see.

I tried that already didn’t work. Put it into my sister pc and there it’s in the bios but I can’t access it in windows and can’t initialize ist

How old is the HDD?

Is the data on it important?

It seems like a PCB problem and not mechanical.

Tried chkdsk it says it failed because the disk is RAW. I can see it in windows now though… but still can’t access it.. the data is very important for me and the hdd is pretty old I think don’t know how old though.. I was literally gonna buy a new one because of that

Maybe you should stop forcing the HDD to work, leave it rest for a while (use an anti-static bag to wrap it).

If you computer has an USB 3.0 port, you should find a SATA to USB 3.0 adapter (with 12V power adapter) to connect the HDD to your computer, it could be a repetitive task so I won't recommend doing it directly in your computer.

I just noticed I can access the D partition that’s on the same HDD as E if that somehow helps me
