Not good news...
Ok, u can try something but its complicated, i cant let u do that without expert supervision
As for data recovery, you may try a live Linux CD/pendrive
Prepare a Live Linux pen drive. I would recommend Lucid Puppy ( because that is the one I had used and you have some guide on using it here in SevenForums :))
Download lupu-528.005.iso (132.6 MB) from http://puppylinux.org/main/Long-Term-Supported%20Puppy.htm#lucidpuppy
Create your bootable Lucid Puppy pendrive with this ISO using Rufus 2.2 (808KB) https://rufus.akeo.ie/ (All data on the pendrive will be lost when rufus formats the pendrive before writing the ISO and so backup any data on the pendrive elsewhere before running Rufus)
Boot your PC with this pendrive using the onetime boot menu Check whether that faulty drive is shown and you can access it and see your data. If seen copy all data to the empty drive.( You must have plugged in the empty drive before booting into Lucid Puppy)
Guide on how to use Lucid Puppy :Go to the topic Recovering files from the non-bootable Internal Drive: in my thread

Well hiren cd is meant for data recovery itself but drives r not accessible so no point doing that
My dear friend nooruddin76,
Windows is Windows whether it runs internally or externally from Hiren's CD. So don't jump to conclusions.
Let the OP try Live Linux. If it works well and good. If it doesn't get on to some other recovery method.
