My Samsung HD died today

Gas Panic! · 2 May 2007 at 20:52

Urgh... my 160Gb Spinpoint died today. I bought it in October, so I assume it's in warranty. I got a BSOD in Windows and that was it, PC won't even boot with it anymore - and it's making evil clicking noises. It's recognised in BIOS but that's about it.

It's unrecognisable in both Windows Vista and Knoppix, so I have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas? I'd like to get some data off of there, but thankfully I have backups of my most important data - music, videos etc.

Any help would be great. Cheers!
