it isn't only merely dead, but really most sincerely dead

My hard drive, that is. I pulled it out of the old computer, switched the jumper settings and hooked it up to [livejournal.com profile] virginmartyr1's computer. It appears in the device manager but there's no information under Properties. When I hit the setup menu on startup and tell BIOS to autodetect the slave drive, it comes up as unreadable.

I will be very upset if I can't salvage any data off the old hard drive. Financial records, years of collected recipes, music files, photos, icons, my Dexter mood theme... lots of irreplaceable stuff.
