how can I recover water damage hard disk? in computermanagment not initialized..

what if I try and replace  the  logic board with exaclty the same disk?  Will this   fix my  problem?

If you are very lucky it might. It depends on the disk, and also if it is just the board that got damaged. Also, you would have to get exactly the same board with the same revision code etc, and that is usually hard to get. Even if you do get exactly the same board that often will not work, particularly if the disk is a newer model.

well - as said, if it is only the board, it "may" fix it look for same firmware level and model; but i heard even that does not fix it on modern disks (it worked on older disks, i did it on 40-80 Gb drives)
look for boards on e-bay, or here

the   disk  is Fujitsu 80 GB 2.5 inches :)

look at my suggestions above  - if you find a board  -  you can try that; i hope it works for you

I agree, replacing the logic board with another one may or may not work. But since the board is not that expensive then it may be worth the risk and try it. It is definitely cheaper than taking the drive to a data recovery place. As mentioned you need to find a logic board that matches your drive exactly, model, version and firmware version number, sometimes even the manufacture date. ... The problem is the logic board has the information on how the drive was low level formatted, this can vary from firmware version to even the date or place where the drive was manufacturered. This is why a replacement board may or may not work.

And, if you put on the wrong logic board, or the wrong firmware, or a firmware revision was updated , ... etc .. then you risk blowing data away. So if you have zero intention of doing a professional recovery, then go for it.  

But you may be able to save some money.  Almost all data recovery firms will provide a free estimate. So perhaps you can get one of them to hook up the disk to their diagnostic system and determine if problem is media or electronics .. for free.  If they tell you it is media then you saved your time and effort.  If they tell you it is electronics, then they might cut you a deal.

So you *could* end up knowing if this board replacement will be a waste of your time and money BEFORE you throw more money and time at it.

HI,

If the computer is not showing HDD in Bios Setup then you can see whether Jumper is connected or not if not try changing jumper settings till hdd is detected.

I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:

Not happy that this is just being deleted, there has been lots of different people giving valid advice.

Hi,

You can do one more thing you can check your IDE Cable i hope there is problem with your IDE Cable which is why it is not detecting HardDisk either Jumper settings or IDE Cable problem is not detecting HDD you can replace IDE Cable and try to connect and if detects then the issue is resolved.

Hi,

Is your hdd water damaged or is notbeing detected ,If it is water damaged then you can dry your hdd in sunlight and put foil paper in power smps connection and try to connect your hdd.Foil Paper is the only solution if it is water damaged.
