Hi everyone I have a notebook hard drive that would not boot. I bought an adapter so I could connect it to a standard IDE connector and put it into a pc. The pc does not recognize the drive nor does the original notebook.I think the logic board is fried (cuz I saw smoke coming from the top of the drive). Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do besides sending it to a data recovery company.

ok so we know the motherboard is fried and the hard drive ur not seeing it in windows or bios u may have to check to see if it pulls up in bios and are u able to set to master or slave??? and there are plenty of data recovery programs out there havent tested any my self yet.

No, I can't see it in the bios. I even tried putting it back into the notebook and the bios still doesn't see it.
