Your HDD is probably dead!

You can
1. Try TestDisk - but be very very careful with it - do LOTS of internet research before you execute anything with TestDisk.
OR
2. Contact a professional recovery service - but be prepared to shell out a lot of cash, especially if its something like damaged spindle/disk surface etc.

Was the data on the HDD backed up?

Turn on ur PC and feel whether the HDD is spinning or not

Op checked the HDD on another pc .. I think that should at-least eliminate the possibility of bad cables.

Sometimes, the damaged power/data cords are the culprits.
