Hard drive data recovery tools are now widely available. More and more are offering hard drive data recovery tools knowing that more and more people are now using computers with hard drives that are generally subject to break down. Also, the hard drive data recovery tools were designed and developed for the hope that the lost data can still be recovered although the computer system considered them inaccessible. The truth of the matter is, when the data is corrupted or deleted from the hard drive by accident, the data is not totally lost. It is just stored somewhere, and hard drive data recovery experts can do something to retrieve them.

I don’t think there is any other way except a professional data retriever, unless you buy the same programs they use.
if the dead drive isn’t even being recognised by the second machine …. sounds terminal … unless you use professional help where they litterally remove each platter and spin it up to retrieve data …. try it in another machine if possible may just be a compatibility issue with the comp you tried slaving it to
