Hardrive Problem! HELP

aus2480 · 11-10-2005, 04:10 PM

I had some errors (bad sectors) on a hard drive with WIN 98 OS. I ran the scandisk program and tried to repair them, but after few failed attempts (the program would just stop and not continue the diskcheck/repair, and HDD would make knocking sounds every two seconds) it got even worse.
Now the hard drive does not show in the boot menu or in BIOS, like it isn't connected at all.
Can the hardrive be saved? It contains some important documents that should not be lost....
What can I do? Any suggestions?
