    Hi every Body:

    I have a problem with my 2.5 toshiba HDD. My Laptop is a Furbished Gateway NV53A and suddenly the screen went black and by the third time was a blue screen and rapiddly shut down and couldn´t start again I bought another HDD to try to rescue my information with a USB connector but when I wanted to read the disk the window appear to say cant read de disk to use it you need to format it and I try to use the disk manager the format of C: was HFTS and the damage disk format was RAW the dialogue window says that the disk was not asigned and try to inicialize it but then another dialog box says that could´t be inicialized and then desappear from the list and now doesn´t see tha disk. I try to use the recover partition but it doesn´t work neither the CMOS detected it.
    Can I Use something to recover my information? there is a way to make it work? I didn´t use it as slave with a ide cable I never lose my hopes

    Thank you for your help
