my notebook suddenly shut down itself, after i restart, it cannot boot in window; so i try to reformat it, but then it show no harddisk is install and i found that my harddisk come out sound "tab, tab, tab". After that.. i try to remove and reinstall my harddisk, but the problem seeing the same. My question is 1.) if my harddisk break down, is there any way i can get the data inside?? 2.) how can i check are my harddisk is IDE or SATA?
there are services online that offers data recovery. Old computers or laptops mostly are IDE, if your notebook is recent, say within 3 years then I am pretty sure it is SATA.
