  Never heard of this problem. Is it on laptop?
  Yes, internal HDD can be used as external HDD. You can find a 2.5" or 3.5" case (as per your need) in local market @INR. 250/- .
  There are #-Link-Snipped-#that do not force to use that HDD it might cause permanent failure.
  get backup asap.

  Try this simple solution, although I don't know if it works, but it worth a try:
  Replug HDD etc. and unplug all USB stuff, then try to reboot, without connecting any USB's with your computer.
  Lets Hope that this works👍

  Use another spare HDD as primary and this one as secondary!
  This might work! So all your data is corrupted/deleted?

  Nope, it's desktop.

  If it is desktop then you need 3.5" hdd casing and first take backup.
  It mostly seems HDD problem.
  Is it Seagate HDD?

  Then,
  I afraid you need to take care your HDD soon.There are some cases I have seen, Seagate crashed just at a time without any warning.
  If not wrong HDD carry 5 years warranty do check if you can replace it.
  I suggest you to buy only Western Digital HDD now on.

  Thank you very much #-Link-Snipped-#
  
  But but before I switch to other hd,I am thinking of resetting BIOS by clearing it first.
  Sadly,I can't find jumper or CMOS battery,I know there gotta be CMOS but I can't find it.
  
  Can you tell me whether it is on Northside bridge or Southside bridge ?
  Maybe re-configuring BIOS will fix the problem & simultaneously save my time & cash 😉

  I used to reset it from BIOS menu or removing battery only, but haven't cleared BIOS from jumper.
  Better look with your motherboard specific manual or help. It got to be nearby battery only.
  Check this bios reset jumper - Google Search

  Try Hiren's boot CD. Not sure it will work or not but it is worth trying.

  Thanks man but I can't afford both.
  The fact is I can't afford 1TB internal hd atm.
  
  But hey I have a thought for this :
  Can I use my external hd as primary bootable harddisk.
  I know that I can,but my concern is "speed".
  I have read that using external hd to boot OS is not suggested as the speed will be less than that of internal hd.
  Illuminate my knowledge here 😀
  
  I am thinking of biying either internal or external hd.
  If external hd works fast then I am thinking of making it bootable & carry my os & data wherever i want.

  You can boot from external hdd which support USB. oot ... But I am sure you have to compromise with speed ...
  Not sure how many times you need to boot on different machines but problems occurs while loading machine specific drivers.
