Good day "Toaster" .
The problem is this: There is a hard drive (Seagate 1.5TB, I won’t tell you the exact marking) is divided into 2 sections (System and file storage), but it began to crumble.
The redirected sectors were filled almost to capacity 34/36 (According to SMART ), Windows sounded the alarm (Win 8 Pro) and demanded to replace the disk as soon as possible. My iron friend stood for 2 weeks off.
Today I bought a new disk and decided to transfer information from the "sick" to a new one. I installed the system (Win 8.1 Pro), connected the old disk, Windows detected it, showed 2 partitions (System and reserved by the system) and tried to determine the 3rd (file dump) but hung when loading the explorer window.
Rebooted the computer.
Now we hang on the splash screen of the motherboard (when turned on). I disconnect the "patient" everything is loaded normally, I connect it - we hang. Can't even get into the BIOS .
So the question is, how to be, what to do? How to extract files from it? The problem is simply critical, since it contains a lot of necessary information. I really hope for your help, thanks in advance.

As an option - "hot" inclusion.
That is, leave the power connector on, disable the SATA cable.
Connect the SATA cable after loading Windows (and it is better to carry out these manipulations on the side of the motherboard so as not to pull the disk mechanically).

First, try to change the SATA cable (twice, because there was a case when the cable I replaced was also not very good). If it does not help and the BIOS / EFI disk is not detected and does not enter - carry it to the service.
Data is more expensive than show-offs.

It is best to turn to specialists, while there is still something to restore. We used the services of this company several times and were always satisfied www.mhdd.ru

If possible, then insert another hard drive, and try to connect it through an adapter like a portable hard drive .. it might work

I will write about my life experience in a similar situation - only in both of my cases the screws were determined in the BIOS, but Windows also got up with a stake when they were connected or loaded with them. The file system on the partitions was NTFS. The data was read successfully in Linux (used SystemRescueCD).
