if only to find the same disk and rearrange the controller board (if it was the controller that died).
it is much more realistic to turn to a special repair there and they have a bunch of handkerchief controllers and a bunch of the right hardware and a bunch of knowledge .... pay money for guaranteed data capture.

If the disk is really dead and the problem is only in Windows, it's much easier to just reinstall it on a new one. If files are needed and there is no backup, recovery will be expensive, sometimes very expensive.

If the disk is dead, then Windows cannot be transferred from it. And if it was possible, it meant that he was not dead.

The concept of "dead" tells us little in this case, it is necessary to describe the symptoms in more detail. Perhaps you didn’t fully understand and in fact the file system is simply damaged there, or perhaps the hard drive is completely faulty after physical damage

Try it through the Acronis program, but be careful.

Norton Ghost does a sector-by-sector data transfer (this is not a clone, but a blunt 1:1 copy) provided that there are no physically bad sectors. He will try to read bads, but! if nothing can be done, the process will hang, or Ghost itself will say that it cannot.
First you need to check the source disk in Victoria in Refresh mode. If the bads are gone - feel free to make a clone. If not, try anyway.

It is easier to contact the service center (if you yourself can not).
Your lost data will be restored.
And they will simply put in a new hard drive, put the system on it and upload the lost files on the dried drive.
If the drive is identified. Then you can try to restore the files yourself. But this is a completely different and more complicated story.
