If the BIOS does not detect it, it is unlikely you can recover data from it, except by spending a lot of money for a data recovery service. &nbsp;If it is detected by your BIOS, but not by your OS, there are programs that can recover the data - GetDataBack is one (<a href="http://www.runtime.org" rel="ugc">www.runtime.org</a>). &nbsp;Others can be found listed here: <a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20900970/recover-my-old-data.html" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20900970/recover-my-old-data.html</a>

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a Seagate Model ST340015A its size: 40 GB. It was working perfectly but yesterday I turned my computer on and found that it could not start windows, then I tried to put it on another machine as a salve disk but the system didnt recognize it, not with cable select niether as master. The question is: what can I do to recover my information if no bios can detect the disk.?<br />
Is there any software i can use?<br />
<br />
thanks in advance

hard disk problem

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
