My computer stop booting and the main problem is my then hard disk.

1. Is there a way to make my old hard disk functional?
2. Is there a way to recover the files inside my failed hard disk?

Thanks.

How old is your Drive? There are ways to recover the files by going to a professional store, they have the necessary tools and software to provide that service, usually $10-40. Usually drives have an amazing manufacture warranty, so you should give them a call and see if it falls under warranty, but back up your files before you do as they will not do it for you when they replace of fix your drive.

Post 2. If you can afford it get an external drive where you back up all your files 1-3 times a month, and remove it from the power source whenever you are not backing up files. Per myself I am currently operating 7 drives (2 internal 5 external) plus a back drive that is offline during non back up hours. It does miracles, especially with a lot of files.
