Can detect in BIOS is OK, any sound from HDD when u booting?

May be u can try on other PC or make it as Secondary Master (U need to set the jumper).

Got noisy sound, maybe bios try to detect it. On bios screen, it state there hardisk name. Maxtor 40... something la. But any information on cylinder, sector, size, just state 0 (zero). Try at many pc, make it slave, make it master, change cable, still same result. Dont know what to do now.

maybe you should find a certified Pro to fix it. there may be something loosened or damaged.

Is it possible to recover a crashed harddisk?

u try to make it external yet to check if work?

not yet bro! But i will try it.

Is there any programs that can eliminate the bad sector in my hdd?

or u can try do a low level format then.
