hey everyone...pls relax

all is not lost. i used to have the same problem but i managed to fix it and recover all my data fully. I'm on a Seagate 750GB with S/N: ST3750330AS and FW: SD15.
I'm sure all of you would be thinking of RMA in which you'll loose all your data. I'm also pretty sure that all of you want your precious data back. I almost cried when i tot i lost everything but i managed to recover everything.
I know professional data recovery services would cost thousands. But i'm willing to do it at lower price. This is because, i'm not from a big company of wtv. I'm just soloing and doing this as my free time.
So...yea..as long as its not physical problem but this firmware problem where harddisk cannot be detected in BIOS, i can help. I even do data recovery in the case the drive was accidently formatted. Provided its not overwritten by any new data.

For more info and enquiries, contact me at : fisherman10@gmail.com also using this for skype. or just search my name - rfkwfoong
MSN : dwarling_90@hotmail.com
Phone number is 012 3 4 5 9 9 5 2.
My phone is usually off during the day but u can leave me an sms with your details or just email me and i'll contact you back surely.
Or you can just pm me.

Thanks

p.s. From someone who has 16yrs of bookmarks, RSS feeds, softwares, DVDs and tweaks which was just about to be backed-up. i manage to save it...all glory to God!

haha.....its not that i dont backup. you see, the case is like this. I wuz using a P4 where i had all my data there and of course 2 copies on a separate internal hdd la. then around november 2008, i bought my new quad-core together with the seagate. so i installed vista here n then transferred everything to here and then reformat my old P4 so that still can be used by my bros and sis coz it wuz getting clogged up. and then just as i was planning to back it up frm my new pc to the old harddisks this week, it died a few days before [murphy's law la...haha]. but thank god!....i manage to recover my data.

[edit]:oops...i tot u were asking me why i never backup for 10 yrs. but anyway, i already typed it so.....dun care la]

well yours is 7200.10 so probably if its physical failure, then it'll have to depend how long is ur warranty la. check ur receipt or ur dealer la.

under the T&C there, does amount of hours make a difference?
i usually think it's still gud for warranty la. coz usually they see like how many years n all. they dun really see the hours wan la.

lol....must be leaving it on 24 hrs to dl movies eh? hhahaha

well, they usually dont say how many hours la...
they just usually say abt 3-5 years la...coz many factors can affect ur hdd wan. like heat, fragmented hdd and rough handling.
so like usually its 3-5 years la...but it can spoil anytime aso because of factory defects or anything. we wouldnt know. the harddisk that you just bought might be an old one where someone sent it back for warranty.

@dark.angel
you cant update the firmware when it cannot be detected in BIOS already. It's too late. Its now bricked already.
if u wan ur data den hav to send for data recovery la. giv me a call - 0 1 2 3 4 5 99 52.
i do data recovery btw.

@mxploit
as far i know when i last read at the seagate website, they only offer free data recovery for those in the US only.
any updates?

hey guys..
@ghoster
i do data recovery and i can recover the data for this kinda problem.
if u're interested can contact me at fisherman10@gmail.com or msn - dwarling_90@hotmail.com
There are some here who are saying that they send their drive back to seagate and they get free data recovery and stuffs like that but i have seen cases where seagate just gives you back a new drive with a message which states that they were unable to recover your data.

@chiakm
this is indeed a firmware problem. but unfortunately, it is already too late to update the firmware as it already cant be detected in the BIOS.
anyway, i do data recovery, so feel free to contact me at fisherman10@gmail.com or msn - dwarling_90@hotmail.com if you're interested for more details.
Thanks.

@ghoster
nowadays hdd's very cheap already mah.
what i can do is, i can fix it for u then u can decide when or where u wanna transfer ur data out or i copy everything out into another of your hdd.
the problem i said abt sending back to seagate might affect you but there's no 100%. u can try ur luck if you want but ones u send your hdd, you dunno what will happen to it.

hey guys? anyone needs data recovery? You can be sure that ur data remains confidential. Sending your harddisk for warranty means that u're actually sending your data to wonderland. Who knows what they'll be doing with your data once your hdd is with them? And then there's the problem of your hdd being lost during transportation, or being mishandled.

So, all is not lost. i used to have the same problem but i managed to fix it and recover all my data fully. I'm on a Seagate 750GB with S/N: ST3750330AS and i'm not worried at all.
I'm sure all of you would be thinking of RMA in which you'll loose all your data. I'm also pretty sure that all of you want your precious data back. I almost cried when i tot i lost everything but i managed to recover everything.
I know professional data recovery services would cost thousands. But i'm willing to do it at lower price. This is because, i'm not from a big company of wtv. I'm just soloing and doing this as my free time.

I have already successfully solved this problem for a few users who have saw my services here. So rest assured as no data, no charge.

Thanks

once it's bricked, there's nth much u can do like changing ports or using ext case.

wahh....
actually I've so far done 3 cases before. All successful. No data no charge.
if u want, i can give u their contact number/MSN if u wanna check. They're not on LYN so they didnt post anything here. I think they just probably googled abt this problem and they found my post.
