OK have you tried a hard drive diagnostic in the BIOS (F10)? If the hard drive is not visible there I think we need to begin talking about a replacement. Providing us the model of the laptop is a good way to help us help you.

I have the same problem. I tried testing the hardrvie through the start-up menu, but it came up failed. Is there any fix for this? Is this what they call a crash? Please respond.

Yes I would say you all are facing a crash. You all need to replace your hard drives. Each of you start your own threads and we can walk you through the process. It is not as expensive or difficult as you fear.

I make my hard drive as external hard drive, but still I am not able to retrive the data from it. 

The files I retrive are all corrupted files. 

Please suggest me a solution for that.
