Bcoz of "Earthing" problems, it had already got bad sectors. But it still worked. But now its not detected in the BIOS. I had backup'ed many files from it. But still some important files are inside it. Can I anyhow get that data out from it?

I have tried HDD Regenrator, HDAT2, Windows XPE (Live CD), Linux (Ubuntu), etc. But none could detect it. Now is there any way? Please Help. Thanks in advance.
