i am using windows 7 system. and have a seagate st7500320as sata harddrive.

the drive powers up as i can feel the disk spin and there is no clicking sound.

it no longer shows up in my bios.

i have tried changing the sata ports and the cable. there is power going to it and makes the usual warming up noises but nothing else happens and used a seagate diagnostic tool but the hard drive was not found.

it is the only drive i have and have alot of important work saved on it.

is there something i am missing?

When did you start having the issue?

Have you tried putting in externally?

it died on me about 10 days ago. i have tried everything. tried it in another pc. tried it externally but nothing helped

Different SATA port, different cable, externally all with no luck? You have a dead drive.

so i take it as there is no way to recover my data of it then

There is, you can try one of the data recovery companies like DriveSavers but it will cost you.
