Hdd failed suddenly Spins up but not recognised by system or bios Have tried in other computer with different settings eg master, slave, cable selsect etc Tried it in the freezer for 30 min as thought heads might have stuck
Help help lots of photos and documents on drive.
 
This is on a drive that had been working correct?

Not a new install...

It appears that you have exhausted the normal sequence of troubleshooting(freezer, etc). Could vey well be that this drive has seen the end of it's life.

Is it still in a warranty period?

You do have important data backed up?
