i have a 1tb seagate barracuda HDD (ST1000DM010). It stopped working when i connected it to my power source and it did not appear in bios or in the windows OS, to solve this i bought an identical HDD with the same type of pcb but now it only says "offline" and does not allow to initalize it, in programs such as minitool, partition wizzard, etc. it only says unllocated or bad dis, the important thing here is that i want to recover the information inside and if it possible, the disk too, but more important than that the information inside it.
also, i tried to fix it using hiren's boot and hdat2 to see what was wrong, but i m new in this area so i really need help. Using this tools i found this different problems:

Straight board swap worked only on PATA drives, SATA drives have firmware that needs to match original one. Let a professional handle it if you must retrieve data.
 
Personally, I'd boot the system to a Linux demo system (meaning it runs in RAM and doesn't actually install unless you tell it to; this is still a fully functional rescue system). Example: KUbuntu.

From there you can see a lot of information on a disk, and possibly recover or repair. The "lsblk -f" command will tell you a lot about the disk. The "smart drive" command "`smartctl -i`" command will tell you about the "smart drive" logs. All of this is non-permanent and goes away upon reboot.
