After browsing sites by chrome I had big lag and and everything freezed. Next I saw an error with blue screen - watchdog_violation or something like that. I restared my pc and from that moment I lost access for my data and everything. There is huuge problem with my hard drive.. I checked it with diagnosis (f2 in bios) but it says that my hard drive cant be found or he failed. Please help! I have alot of documents in my hdd. P.s. All hdd cables are checked.

 

CPU test - passed

Memory test - passed

Disk test - failed   ERROR 3F0

 

Can't do recovery from hdd, because:     "No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed."

 

Any suggestions?

I need to know if is there any solution with it... Before I buy components to recover my data from broken hdd.

Since you obviously know the drive needs to be replaced, let's deal with the data recovery issue.

 

First, you need to STOP using the drive -- NOW.  The more you use the drive, the greater the risk you will not be able to recovery anything from it.

 

Second, you need to have access to a working PC, and for that, you need to purchase a USB-to-HDD adapter.  This will allow you to connect that drive to another PC to do data recovery.

 

Thirs, you need to install data recovery software on the working PC.  This is a free version:  Recover Data in 3 Steps With MiniTool Power Data Recovery Free Edition - MajorGeeks

 

If that does not find what you want to recover, here is a better app but it is only free to try out: Active@ File Recovery searches for lost & deleted files, recovers damaged volumes, disks & RAIDs

 

Good Luck
