I'm guessing here, but it's probably toast. I don't know how many internal drives you have but just on the slim chance the connectors are shot and not the drive try hooking it to a different connector or switching it out with your boot drive (assuming it's got a boot partition on it). Or if you have another machine try it there.
Good luck.
