Hard Drive wont boot, Solutions? :( Recovery Companies?

ApolloDG

Well what can I say, my hard-drive gave up. Anyone know of any trusted data recovery companies in the UK? So many family pictures lost :(

 

I have tried replacing cables and no solution. Also trying to find diagnostics in the BOIS got the gigabyte UEFI doesnt seem to have it. 

 

Windows 10.

Plugged it into another computer and checked whether its being detected?

Aye, make sure it isn't trying to boot off a USB or something too, go into BIOS and make sure the boot order is right.

Also check the SATA cable and the power cable, disconnect both from the drive and the SATA from the motherboard and reconnect them to make sure a cable hasn't wiggled itself loose.

Done that. Used a completely different cable as well, to no avail.
