my hard drive spinning but not shown in bios

by n00be . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

I have a western digital 160gigs
and it has been 5 days since i purchased it
and now its gone!!!I don’t know why?
it was running perfectly though….
now when I boot my pc it takes time to do “POST”
and then it says secondary hard disk error
press F1 to continue
I played with jumpers…but didn’t work
i also downloaded western digital diagnostic tool also some other stuff but non of them worked.also it gave me error code 0201.
I tried to test it on multiple other computers
and put it into a usb drive enclosure also didn’t work but for this method windows xp
identify the disk but it its not shown in my computer
and finally I am thinking into swapping the controller board or the drive platters
do you have any other suggestions to try?
thanx a alot.
