If the computer BIOS recognizes the drive then it very likley is not a hardware failure.
Try GetDataBack to recover the data.

GetDataBack really saved my chestnuts a couple months ago...I can't praise it enough.

Thanks. Am trying get back right now. Hard drive does show up on bios and diagnostic utilities said it was in good shape.
Did a test run with demo version of getback. It seems to work. The files are there. Have to pay for the fully functional version to recover them
Looks good!
