got an hardrive that seems to have broken, first i thought there was some damage to the filesystem or anything so i have removed it and put the hd into another system to try and repair the file system, im not even able to start the windows tools to try and repair the disk.
there are no strange sounds,clicks etc from the hd drive(it usually is when a hd is mecanically broken)
so my question is; is there any way and i mean anyway to get some life into this hd for a minute or two, to extract and save some data on it.
formatting/throwing out the window is the very last option i have and not a very good one cause i got some really important data on it, its not large data just very little but really important :/.
can i DL some software from the net to extract some data or? any help is appreciated.

Is the drive making clicking sounds or other noises? If so then you need profressional help. If the drive just won't boot up then you can probably get the data off by placing it into another computer. Just open the other pc and remove the cables from the cd rom drive and attach it to the hard drive. After you boot up open my computer...the drive should be there as D: and then you can open it and copy files from it onto your desktop.

Or possibly This product

edit:
Here's some other program:

Get a new HDD with windows on it, plug this buggered one into the slave in, and then you can see if you can access it at all.

It is self explanatory thewn mate, if you cant access the disk AT ALL, then I doubt you will be able to use any s/w to access it. Does it get recognized but you cant access it or it doesnt even give you a drive acknowledgement?

If its really important you can always hire one of those drive recovery companies, heard they're expensive tho.

Even if its not recognized you can change the controller card from an identical drive to access the information if your lucky.
