You can't do anything if your hard disk is dead, in such a situation it is better to give your hard disk to a data recovery professional.
If you accidentally deleted it then there are plenty of Softwares that you can use to recover it. However, it's not guaranteed that you will get the file or the recovered file will work.
You can use software like Recuva which is free or use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard which is a paid software but you can use it to recover up to 2GB for free.
I have used both of these tools and liked them both but EaseUS does the job better.

If it is badly damaged and deleted you can also try Test Disk which is free and I have used in the past to recover my 2 tb hd of files that was mangled. TestDisk Download - CGSecurity

TestDisk is powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software: certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table). Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.

Those more familiar with such procedures should find TestDisk a handy tool in performing onsite recovery.
