Hard Disk problem????

[heartripple]

Hey guys from past few days I am facing a problem with 1 of my hard drive...

I have three HDDs .....

1) 320GB
2) 750GB
3) 2TB

2 weeks ago one error massage BOOTMGR missing... and blue screen errors
so I reinstalled the OS .....but blue screen error was still there.....after few days my pc was not able to detect the boot device means 320GB hdd... so I reattached all the HDD cables many times.... but pc never boot...so finally I decided to take all the data on my 2TB hdd ....started the procedure after installing OS on my 750GB hdd.....during the back up my 320GB hdd were suddenly stopped working and doesn't even shown in my computer or device manager....after so many trials I took the back up of all the data from that hdd....

So I think the problem is that my HDD is too old now and it will die soon...

Is there anyways I can check that my HDD is completely faulty or not???
If it is faulty then can I send it for RMA????
If RMA is possible then can I choose which kind of hdd I will have as a replacement ???????

The bootloader was probably not in the hard drive you formatted. You probably would have to format up everything from scratch. Use a live Linux distro to see if you can recover files.

I recovered all the data....then I deleted all the partitions and created only 1 partition of 298 GB .....Then also after some time of boot ..that HDD is not displayed in My Computer....


So what could be the problem?
