PC freezes at Boot screen ! HELP!!
What I did ?
- Removed RAM & remounted it. Result : Fail.
- Removed Harddisk & DVD Drive.Result : On screen error appears of "NO PXE ROM"
So,either DVD Drive is damaged or HardDisk.
- Replugged DVD Drive to SATA.Same error as above obtained.
- Replugged Harddisk again to same SATA port. Result : Freeze at boot screen.
- Removed Harddisk plugs from SATA1 & plugged to SATA2.result : Freeze at boot screen.
- Removed harddisk entirely from case & inserted bootable Linux CD & everything worked (ofcourse cant save a shit)
So,I think my harddisk is damaged.
Can any CEan tell me that is it possible to use internal hdd as external hdd & get all my data back ??
My 500GB harddisk consists treasures,man!
I have been collecting data-sheets,Self-made Linux tutorials,Hiphop songs,Project works,Bunch of tar ball files since last 3 years.
And being honest,I never took backup(the heck I was thinking of myself that my data will never get corrupted?).But if i lose these files (Linux tuts,data sheets & tar balls....songs are no big deal) then I'll be doomed 😔
Help me with some hardware side tweak so that i can use this dead hdd & recover my data back in new hdd.
Any help will be highly appreciated ðŸ˜
