The drive is broken and needs to be replaced. The data is unrecoverable outside of a Data Recovery Lab.
Sorry for the bad news

Hello,
no software solution on your own will work, you only option is to a data recovery company retrieve the data off the hard drive, if it isn't too badly damaged.
sorry to hear this, if the data is important then seek professional advise.

Hey guys thanks for the respond. They were a little disheartening but thanks anyway. I found a solution to the problem a colleague helped me out. He used the command prompt to solve the problem. He entered this command "chkdsk / f *the disk name goes here(it could be h, or g, or whatever)*"
What this does is, it checks the disk (chkdsk) and fixes (f) the broken areas.
To be clear, the command is chkdsk/ f d
This could help someone else, like it helped me. Pheeewww boy i'm i glad that i don't have to loose everything in my Hard drive
