Hey palanimuthu. I'd recommend that you first try the basic troubleshooting. Try it with a different SATA and/or power cable and try it with a different computer to see if the same thing happens. Are there any signs that the drive is working, like hearing it spin or vibrating etc? And was there anything out of the ordinary before the drive stopped being recognized in the BIOS?

I would obtain a serial terminal log from the drive's diagnostic port. Sometimes there is a simple DIY solution. Do not send any command that writes to the drive, especially not the "m" command that is used in the well known "7200.11 fix".
