Your drive is most likely toast. I recommend you get it to a data recovery company.
I've heard that if you have a hard drive that is dying, under some circumstances you can coax it into working a little longer by putting it in a ziplock bag and popping it in the freezer for an hour. If it works you won't have a long time so get your data quickly. you can read about it here.

I have personally never done this, but doesn't hurt to give it a shot.
