Caviar Green 3TB HDD has suddenly stopped working?

Greetings

So the HDD has suffered no damage, and won't show up at all on a Mac or a PC (tried the bios for this) - it just suddenly disappeared from finder in OSX, with no sign that it was failing on me. It's only been in use for about 3 months!

I have never had anything like this happen to me, and the last backup of this drive was too long ago, so there's data I am desperate to recover.

Any ideas?

tell us more about the drive. when its connected to power supply, do you hear it spinning? any clicking sounds?

[pcdoc72]

yep no clicks seems to start up then windows installs drivers then it wont show up in my computer ....even under disk management it says Disk 1 not intialized  and when i try to intialize i get an error in windows "incorrect function" ......dam.

try R-studio or another software recovery tool. if that does not work you may want to find a professional recovery place if data is what you after, then RMA the drive
