As for the recovery, if the hdd is dead, than its a hardware problem and no recovery software will help you. If it just doesnt get detected by Windows, but the electronics is OK, then it might be a damaged partition or MBR, which means it does not have to be the HDDs fault at all. The partition may get damaged by sudden power outage or when the PC freeze and you restart it.

Have you tried the diagnostic tools from WD?? The proggy from WD website will create a bootable CD with an application which may help you discover the problem.
