but while connecting i could hear the sound of rolling inside HDD .and in windows manager ( disk management ) it is being shown as an unlocated partition
even after testing with ( get data back for NTFS) software , all files are as error files !

Hi there rimartic,

That's unpleasant. Unfortunately, the HDD may have been physically damaged.
Your safest bet for recovering the data is to just contact a data recovery company.
Apart from that, you guess you can try using some other data/partition recovery tools. Just keep in mind that this could further damage the data.
