The hardware inside the hard drive means there are some that are not functioning or damaged vital section, may be Motherboadnya or magnetic discs damaged due to fall, the crunch and so forth.
physical damage is most severe on the hard disk is a magnetic disc. This can be overcome by following these steps:
1. Wrap your disks with tightly using a cloth (preferably not too thick and not too thin) drop onto the mattress or the carpet a bit thick, to drop about 1 meter tall (can be less than 1 meter) from the top of the mattress or carpet for 3 or 4 times (note: do not slam hard) even though this way rather ekstream. Okay-up, after that try again ignited hardisknya was too in-Bios detect anything yet, if detected (lucky you) just in-format, if not do not have to be forced.
2. Directly bring to-Expert to examine the damage occurred on the motherboard or dishes can be both.
Note: if the damaged Motherboadnya meaning can still be saved the data by replacing the motherboard hard drive that suits your hard drive, but when the dishes are damaged then you are ready to replace the new hard drive.
