Just how illegal are we talking?

You have had a hard drive failure. I doubt anything will bring your hard drive back to life. You may be able to recover files off of it if you install a second hard drive and use that as your main drive (install windows on it). Then try to see if windows will recognize your first drive at all, and if it will then load as many of your files that are not corrupt onto the second drive.

At that point you can throw out the busted drive, it is not going to get repaired, it is toast.
