Power cable of Internal HDD disconneted while it was running. Now not working

[The Day Dreamer]

I was using my DESKTP computer when due to some cabinet issues, the power cord of INTERNAL HDD got disconnected resulting in COMPUTER CRASHING.

Since then, it not booting up, all I hear is a BEEP sound when ever I try to start it.

Does that mean that its dead?

probably yes, although I would check all other connections in the PC are properly/firmly inserted (Especially things such as RAM not fully seated), and then try the suspect drive in another machine or external USB enclosure before giving up on it...

On my desktop a single beep means A-OK.

I doubt it's dead but we need more info; is this a branded (Dell, HP, etc.) unit or one you built? If branded do you have a recovery DVD, if you built it you should have your OS install disc.

In either case if you're running Windows and have your install/recovery disc, insert it and enter BIOS to change the boot order; if it's branded unit you'll have a one time boot menu option, usually F12. Change the boot order to DVD first and boot to the Repair option.

Wires are at fault. HARD DISK working super fine with 0 bad sectors. Thanks for the response guys 😀

Usually, a continuous beep indicates a RAM problem. You may try reseating your RAM sticks or try swapping each RAM module to a different RAM slot.
