It all happens when I was trying to upgrade my system with VISTA Well, I don’t know how but my hard drive died on me... and Vista won't boot. Interestingly, when I pop the drive into an external enclosure, and turn it on inside of VISTA, it causes the computer to crash, and restart. I spent some time searching these forums for some help, but figured after about 15 minutes, that I should start my own post.

I would love to do this recovery myself, but the data is very important and crucial that I don’t want to take any risk. Can anyone offer me some pointers as to where I might begin, given the strange crashing symptom?

Any and all help appreciated.
