Hard drive issue need help/advice
OK, I am posting this anyway, even though I figure I am basically Fuked. I have a 1TB Maxtor hard drive that when I booted my computer gave me the deadly message of "please insert bootable media and hit enter" I did the basic connection checks and such, and found that in my bios, it does not even register as being connected. I installed it into an external drive enclosure and connected it to a different computer, and same story, doesn't recognize a drive connected. I am of course certain that the drive's controller card has gone South. I am curious as to how I might be able to try and recover the data. Is it possible to contact Maxtor and get a replacement controller to install onto the hard drive? or am I pretty much out of luck? suggestions??
