Hi
I am having a serious problem.You might have heard about the flood in Gujarat, India. I live there and my office got flodded. My PC was full in water. After the flood was over I removed my harddisk and connected it to my home PC, but nothing is coming. During booting it shows the extra drive but it does not show in "My Computer". I need my data, can anyone tell me what to do. I know that there is something wrong in the circuit on the harddisk. Is there anyway out.?
Please Help !!!

During booting if it is showing the extra drive then it means that the drive is being recognized. Try norton utilities in dos mode and run norton disk doctor and it will throw some light on the fate of the hard disk.

My only guess would be to try quick formating it with disk management (in control pannel, administrative tools). Once the computer can access the drive, try using an undelete utility that can pull files through multiple layers of formatting.
Best of luck, and sorry about the luck you've had thus far...

The only chance you might have now is to give your hard drive to a company that specialize in recovering data from failed drives because windows can not recognize a failed drive because of the NTFS System.

The pc can found it on the start beacause you have the wires. You need a new hard drive. Also, you can't bring back your files.
