At my shop we routinely replace the circuit board on drives that are'nt reccognised by the BIOS. If the data on the drive is important to you, investing in an identical drive to get the pcb is worth a try. It's easy (easier than it sounds).

@Chris Aresti: Sometimes the electric circuits on the drive have a thermal problem. Its called 'cold soldered point'. Once, it worked for me that i put the drive half an hour into the freezer (carefully packed into a plasic bag) than i wraped it into a dry paper towel and put some freezing elements under and abov it so that the drive stayed cold enough and try to use it again to copy all necessary data i wanted to recover to a new hard drive (i pluged the cables outside the pc case into the drive). Sometimes you need more tries than one but in my case it worked.
