only way to recover anything from that is to take it to a disk recovery lab. they might be able to recover the files. however the disk itself is absolutely dead, and needs to be replaced
jeez,my 40 gb portable broke without dropping it.
i was using it,connected to my laptop and went to make a phone call when i came back tried to open a file from it and the pc hung up....then the HD never worked.
can this happen without dropping it?
yes. the solution is BACKUP
Disk Recovery can be $.
Disk Itself can be replaced for far less than data is worth.
