First of all, no advertising please.

Secondly, it sounds as if your HD might be screwed. You could try putting it in a ziplock bag with some tissues, then leaving it in the freezer overnight. I have used this trick before, as it contracts the metal and moves the head reader just far enough away from the disk to allow it to run for a few minutes, which might be long enough for you to recover your files.
