Answer 1

Answer 2

either reinstall windows (u lose all files) or recovery disc (lose all your files). I can't come up with much right now. I don't think the discs will work if u r sure ur hard drive has crashed. I quickly googled it up and found this though. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph05701&tmp_track_link=ot_recdoc/c00386164/en_us/bph05701/loc:2&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=96075&printable=no oh and this might help even better http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t186255-1720-hard-drive-detects-imminent-failure.html

Answer 3

chances of recovering are extremly low because it's a hardware falier.



the chances of getting your data back (at your cost, and it's a lot) by sending it to a specilist company are higher.



it's probably nothing to do with the battery, but because seagate were having some dodgy drives put out about 2 years ago and about 4 months ago sorted out the problem.



you could email Seagate and tell them what has happend, and they may be able to do something, i think it was just a firmware problem, they might be able to provide you with a firware update for the drive which might rectify the problem.
