Seagate SATA HDD problem

Thought I might as well ask this here just to make sure I'm right, but I've got a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750gig internal HDD (running through SATA) that's gone ca-put on me. It's been working fine for the last two months but now if i try turning on the computer I get a disk boot failure and even more troubling is the fact that my BIOS isn't picking it up anymore either.
I've checked the cables and power connection and everything seems to be a-okay hardware wise (the hard disk is spinning up and I've tested the cables on other things) so I'm guessing it's going to need to be replaced, but i wanted to check if there was anything I more i could do to try and get it to work again.
(Also sorry if theres a help thread around for stuff like this, but I coudn't find one. I hate contributing to forum clutter)
