Your disk is dead - buy a new one and install a fresh Windows version.

You may install the bad disk as the second disk inside the computer and see if it's detected in the Device Manager (or put it in a case and use as external disk).

If it is detected, you might try some of the following data recovery programs:

  1. MiniTool Power Data Recovery (Free Edition)
    I count it as the best of its kind. The free version has a limit of 1GB of recovered data.
  2. Recuva
  3. TestDisk
  4. PC Inspector File Recovery
  5. Puran File Recovery

A weird-sounding method to resuscitate a rotating disk for a short while is to wrap it in plastic and with some humidity-sponging material (even rice) and put it in the deep-freeze for an hour.

Otherwise, if recovering the lost data is worth paying for, you could use a professional company specializing in data-recovery
