The laptop interface for my hard drive seemed to be cracked at the back frame area, My hd would not boot, the error message, No bootable media, I removed installed into an External HD enclosure w/usb connection and connected to my other laptop, the external device started to beep and continue to beep and the model recognized but no data at all recognized

Hello all,

@ciscowan, I think xpcman is right, the drive is giving all indications that it could have failed, but if you would like to extract the data from it, you must bring it to a data recovery company. There are professionals and equipment who could help you to get some of the data stored on the hard drive if it's valuable to you.

Good luck!

It appears that the drive is dead.
