I have got a problem with my hard disk. Actually the problem is that it does not reboots when i try to switch on my system. but when i tried to connect it to another system as a slave it shows all my data including folder as it is i have stored. but when attached to my system it doesnt allow me to reboot or to format it. when i showed it to hardware engineer, he tested and told me that the harddisk is damaged beyond repair. My question is if the hard disk is damaged it should not show any date when connected either as master or as slave. suggest me something for this problem and also any software for recovering any disk bad sectors.

It looks like a booting problem, there could be a lot of possiblities since you didn't tell us in details :
1. Maybe Boot failure. Solution : Try to rearrange your boot order. (Go to bios menu by pressing F2 or F12 during booting process and find boot sequence or something like that and place your harddisk in top of boot order then save and restart)
2. Maybe your windows is corrupted. Solution : Try to reinstall your windows.
3. And the worst is maybe your bios is damaged. Solution : Ask a technician to help you.

hello genius,
I have tried the first two solutions but no result. i have searched around the internet about this problem and found it needs to load its drivers again for normal working. If you know the process of loading the drivers into a hard disk, please let me know.

There is nothing to do with your harddisk drivers because most harddisk nowadays is plug and play, just like when you attached flashdrive into USB port, its inserted and system will automatically install the driver for it (driver will be installed automatically from your device, or we can say driver is burned inside your harddisk and it will install itself when you plug it in any computer).
When you have problem with your computer please describe it clearly in details. Whats your OS, when the problem starts to happening, what is the error messages, is there any beep coming from your device and anything you can describe.
This might be the solution for your problem. Go to BIOS setting and change the disk controller setting to IDE, or Go to Boot and disable SATA
