Hello there,

If the drive cannot be detected by the BIOS it is most probably dead. If you want to make sure you can use WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics to test the HDD. If the WD DLG detects it there might be a chance to make it work. You can download WD DLG here:

Hope that helps.

yeah my dad tried that. and apparently he had backups of the drive somewhere... so saving data isin't very important... I was hoping to get some kind of ''dump drive'' out of it 

its dead. might as well open it and take the fun stuff ! (magnets !)
