Hi, if your HD don't had a head crash you will have a chance to copy your data to a new HD. You need exactly the same disk with exactly the same controll PCA revision. Take a look at ebay or a second hand dealer. In case you get one, built the new contoll PCA into your dead HD. Be very carfull about foil cables and connectors between the HD case and the PCA.
I had a similar problem with a blown motor driver chip in a Maxtor drive and changed the PCA. All worked fine and I could save the data.
Good luck !
There are also companies who are specialized for data recovery but the are very expensive.

as long as the drive is working..not clicking or non responding.just pop in the hard drive and it will auto open in windows.or other os then drag and drop as needed. you can open "my computer" to see the new drive and letter. open both drives in two separate windows and move as needed.
Then
when you have it hooked up to your new computer via the usb port just
transfer the files you need from the old computers hard drive to the new
computers hard drive in windows explorer..

That's exactly what you do. Once you transfer the information, it will no longer be on the old hard drive. In other words, it will move the information, not copy.
For more information, check Microsoft 360 Support website at the following page:
Make 2 or 3 small transfers as opposed to one big one. The less information that you try to move at once, the less chance of total corruption of all of your files.
If the drive is still go and they can get data off of it then it would mean the power supply is what is bad. All that you need to do is get an external drive case and put your drive in it. The case we use here in our shop is made by Eagle electronics and can be purchased from Newegg. You can get information and a review of the case here:
Best solution is to make an image of the PC and then use that image to transfer it back. Norton Ghost is a good application for that, but there are more.
all u do is make your new hard drive the master by setting the correct jumper for it the manual will tell u more. then make the old drive a slave. install yr opreating system it should be installed in drive c: thats the master when done, u do yr normal copy and paste to transfer your files from old drive to new drive.
It's a USB Hard drive, so you should plug the USB port into one computer, put your information on it, then plug the USB port into the other computer. Browse the Hard Drive for your data. It's like a larger flash drive.
