One of my hardish failure

One of my hardisk failed, lucky the OS is not on it.
It is a 200G seagate hardisk. All important data and documents on it.

And the connection to mainboard is sata.
When startup, the mainboard cannot recognize it, also the OS.

Any good suggestion?

Thanks and Regards,

Turbot

>>   how to use knoppix,   <<  this tells me you did not even try it.
go to the site, download the version you want, burn the cd, and boot from it.
if it recognises the drive, your hardware is ok. if not vice versa
 
The knoppix site is here:

http://knoppix.net

Anyway, I think you somehow got something mixed up. You say "lucky the OS isn't on it". In my opinion the Data is important, not the OS. You can allways reinstall the OS again, but if you loose data, that's it!
I have 2 hardisk, each one has 3 drivers.
Now one is down, the 3 drivers inside also failed.

For the 2 hardisk, one is IDE, one is SATA.
Now the SATA one is down.
>>   I have 2 hardisk, each one has 3 drivers   <<   ? ? ?   chinese to me. can you explain what you mean?

meaning 2 hard drives each with 3 partitions
ide is your primary boot device with the o/s
sata is your secondary with the data

correct?

does your computer boot with the primary ide drive? y or n

if yes, this is where you mean that your o/s can't recognize the sata drive

if no, which drive does it boot from & what is the startup drive boot order in your bios?
