January 29, 200917 yr My guesses premised that the OP may be confusing what the BIOS is just in case Actually if we knew the motherboard model it would help rule that out.If one could go this way , "other possibilities" include (with the premise that the OP may keep the PC underground, but knows what the BIOS is) that a little mouse could have eaten the IDE or SATA cable. B) More seriously, I have seen often SATA cables get disconnected even if the case had no or very little shocks/movements...double checking cables would be a good idea anyway.jaclaz

January 31, 200917 yr Author What firmware do you have? This issue has three stickies in the hardware hangout. It is a firmware problem affecting mainly the 7200.11 drives but also yours. Look: http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/self...sp?DocId=207969Firmware didn't fix my harddisk problem. Can you prefer me data recovery programme for my problem?
February 1, 200917 yr Can you prefer me data recovery programme for my problem?Let's start again.If it's shown as BUSY, it is damaged in it's firmware.There is NO data recovery program (software) on earth capable to recover from a BUSY (firmware) problem, it simply cannot see the drive.You cannot possibly have applied the new firmware to a locked drive, you need a RS232-TTL interface and unlock the drive:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=128807or send it to Seagate.jaclaz
