My hard drive (Nikimi 60GB) is detected by BIOS all correctly with correct parameters. But when the PC proceeds to boot, an error comes up saying “SECONDARY HDD FAILURE, PRESS F1 to RESUME” (this half dead drive is on secondary IDE).
When I resume the drive is altogether not shown in Windows or anywhere else. I can’t figure what’s wrong? last time I remember I was running a surface scan and there was a window saying “Scandisk is gather info to safeguard the contents.. blah blah” and I was impatient to wait for a long time I rebooted.
Since that time… I am facing this problem. Please help me in bringing my drive to life again, it has some important unbacked up data.
PS: my cables and power supply are working all fine. Checked swapping things!
