    You drive appears only 2 months old... It should still be under warranty ?

    Don't waste your time trying to recover it, It will just end with more deceptions.

    Then install Hard Disk Sentinel and post a screenshot showing its health as requested by dalchina in a previous post

    Also right click on the Start button > Disk Management. Tell us what happens. If it shows your disks post a screenshot.

    The BIOS problem "HDD Password Frozen" has not been resolved yet. I am not sure whether it is due the bad/ inaccessible HDD.

    You had run checkdisk clean. That would have wiped off the MBR and partition tables and could make your drive inaccessible. In that condition when you invoke Windows Disk Management it will normally pop up a window saying ""you must initialize a disk before Logical Disk Manager can access it" . But that is not happening in your case. Also Hard Disk Sentinel does not see your disk.

    At this stage I would recommend that you take out the HDD, put it into a branded external enclosure and test it on another PC.

    seems like this is the only way. I will open the back part of my laptop.

    I thought you had already opened your laptop.
    From your first post "I opened my laptop and it is there where the problem started.."

    If you are not confident on opening the laptop and pulling out the HDD without wrecking the laptop, entrust the job to any nearby computer shop. Better to get it done by a professional who is routinely doing such work.
