You do NOT need to buy a new Samsung disk-drive.
You can buy a replacement from Western Digital, or from Seagate/Maxtor, or any other manufacturer.

Take your current Samsung disk-drive to the computer-store, so that they can sell you a new disk-drive with IDENTICAL data/power connectors (either Parallel-ATA or SATA).

you have not listed the problem so i guess

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect your hard drive

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your motherboard to your hard drive make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them there probably old and faulty

Hello their sam4ubabe

So you mean you Took it off and put it back again...

Try this sequence:..

1. Remove your Hard disk
2. Clean it, remove Dust particles around the connectors
3. Put back the Hard disk, don't tight it so much.
4. Put back those Connectors from Hard disk connectors and Power Connectors.
5. Push the connectors to tighten contacts.

Power it ON.

Lets see if it goes back.
