(Solved) can other drives files be recovered from failed hard disk

<< < (3/3)

jraju:
Hi, There is no OS in the hard disk and it is deleted and formatted. That is the problem.

Shane:
Right, but that has nothing to do with the bios and if the bios sees the drive or not. The bios looks at the physical drive itself and you can set it to be the first hard drive boot device.

Hi,
        Shane your are 100% on dot. Before seeing the reply , i also had that and checked with the other computer with trying to boot from dvd. I went to the bios and while setting the boot priority, found that it shows the hard drive.The technician i suppose would note that. The OS was reinstalled in the other computer and all the drives contents were safe. (except of course, the formatted c: drive). Today only i see your post and it strikes me. Strange. The technician firmly said that hard disk could not be repaired and has to be replaced. Thanks for prompting me to think on those lines. Everything saved and working properly. Kudos to Shane.

jraju:
Hi,
                    Shane, so , if i did allow another fresh try of install at the DVD on his failed hard disc, the result would have been positive. Is it right?

Shane:
Should be, yes. Since the drive isnt actually failed if it was nothing more than a wrong boot order in the bios.
