When you try to fix it by recovery software, what's the report said? As long as the software can identify your HD. You can try by another program and I have some experience on it ;-)

I agree with Dann. It sounds like the hard disk has failed. I've been able to recover some data from failed hard disks in the past but there are no guarantees. There are firms that can recover data from failed hard drives, but the costs are usually prohibitively expensive (starts at around $6000 USD and up).

In the future, I would highly recommend that you keep a backup copy of important information on a second hard drive.

That is the symptom of HD Crash. You need to send it to any computer outlets to save your file to new HD but the crashed HD cant be repaired. Cheers
