If its just a software or data integrity issue such as an accidental erasure those can potentially be recovered with software done by yourself. But if the disk or drive isn't showing up, its possible that its a hardware error such as a faulty reading head or IC damage which is likely to be the case if it has been rumbling in high temperatures for a good number of minutes. If its a hardware issue, data recovery is guaranteed to exceed the cost of the HD.
