The problem started when I first connected my external drive to the above mentioned system at first it gave me an error for the disk being Dynamic and I had to convert it to basic so i attached the external HD via an enclosure to an old laptop copied all the data 1.78 TB just to be on the safe side then converted the Dynamic disc to basic disk via a software Easeus Partition Master Edition. Everything worked out fine I copied all the data back i attached it to the Intel Xeon E5410 and it was instantly detected. After a few days i started noticing something strange sometimes I has to replug the HD to be seen as a drive via the USB. I even attached with a SATA cable to the motherboard but the problem was still there.
Now the issue is I am completely unable to detect access the HD i attach the HD with the sata cable it is not recognized as a drive and when use the USB cable if is shown for a few secs that drive X (yes that is the name as I have assigned all the rest of the letters to my other external already attached HD's) is attached and then it again shows HD removed without a warning all on its own.
I have read the forums here and tried almost anything I have important data on that drive which I have hardly used it was bought 3 months back I am attaching two screen shots the drive shows up in the Disk managment section for a few secs and then vanished I took a screen shot here
I have marked the drive in the screenshot although the screenshot shows the drive is online but you can see in the right corner I instantly got the message that the drive has been removed I am unable to stop this I connect the drive it says drive connected and is instantly followed by the drive has been removed
After all this I even used the software mentioned here in the forums called "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 8.1.1" although it was very difficult to get the drive to stay long enough for other softwares to detect it I was able to to use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition only once to scan the HD. It was being shown there as a Bad Disk I tried the partition recovery wizard but even after scanning it showed it as Bad Disk
see screenshot below
Now I just dont know what else should I do so I am writing in vain that someone can help me out here please like I said I have important data in the drive can someone please please please help me to recover my disk or atleast my data
