Guys.....

I got myself a 120 GB Seagate Baraccuda SATA some weeks back....I copied all the data from my old HDD to the SATA and formatted my old drives....Recently I had a lightning exposure on my PC....I took my HDD to some friends' and checked it....It worked just fine....So I made sure it was OK...Just somedays back I got a new motherboard and connected my SATA to it...First it worked fine....I loaded Windows and all and suddenly it turned off....Now whenever I connect the drive to the PC, the motherboard stops working...I am facing the same problem with other computers to....Hav any of u ppl heard of something like this???? Is there any way I can recover data from the HDD????

Plz reply fast.....

Real fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
