You never can predict when the internal hard drive goes dead. It can happen anytime without any hints as in above scenario. In that situation, you need not crack your head over it. Firstly, make sure that the problem is with hard drive itself; because sometimes, the motherboard may be damaged due to some other hardware issues. Stop using the computer and try connecting it externally to another computer; if it works fine or gets detected, then there is a problem with motherboard. Otherwise you can try out the following ways for getting back access to dead hard drive:

  • If hard drive is detected as USB drive but the drive letter is not appearing on Windows Explorer and makes clicking noise, then the head of hard drive might have got stuck. Place your hand on the narrow edge near cable connector end and hit hard. Plug it again and the drive gets detected
  • Press hard drive tightly with your hands without bending jumper pins. The case will be temporarily held together and the hard drive works. Backup your data while it is being squeezed and working
