My Server was found this morning in a constant reboot. The hard drive spins but BIOS no longer sees it. The drive is a WD1600YS
IF the drive is spinning, can I reclaim the data with any type of software that WD offers or do I need to invest is something from a third party?

I haven’t used it myself, so I don’t know if any functions actually work.
