you should use a laptop coverter to install as a slave on a nother computer.\n\nhttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HD-108&cat=HDD\n\nthen you might need a data recovery software. here is a good free one it is called PC Inspector File Recovery\n\nhttp://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html

If nothing can read it you would have to use an advanced program that uses bit stream copying to get the information back. Through any normal means the hard drive is dead and all information is lost. If it is imparative that you get the information off of it take it to a computer repair shop and ask them to retrieve whatever data they can. If it is not important to save the data that was on there you will need to buy a new drive and set up your computer again. Hope this helps.

You should have gotten a 'Restore' disk with your laptop.Basically boot off of that, and it will wipe out your hard drive and reload Windows on it.\nCheers.

It really depends on whether the hard disk is still accessible by the computer. If the computer can still read the contents of the hard disk (just that some sectors of the hard disk are spoiled), then you can try to search for disk recovery software.\n\nOtherwise (e.g. if the hard disk head is spoiled), you just have to send it to the professionals. They'd probably open up the hard disk (which you should never do at home because of highly possible contamination) and put it in another hard disk head, or use some powerful microscopes to figure out all the magnetic particles.

there may be a screw holding the drive in place (usually on most laptops) put a paperclip in the hole in the fornt of the drive to open the drive, then pull the whole thing out. then reverse these steps to put a new one in

call any reputable computer repair shop in your area.  If they don't do it on-site, they should be able to refer you to someone who does.  \n\nFYI: do NOT use anyone who will charge you for their services if no data is recovered.  In other words, no results/data= no $$

Buy a program that "bleaches" the hard drive space.  Simply formatting the drive still leaves data retrievable, it's just not seen by Windows.
