Welcome to ComputerForum.
Just for further info this topic would go into the Hard Drives and Memory Forum.

Yes, there is. If you send it in to the company that supplies the hard drive or a hard drive restore company, you may be able to get all those files back, for a price. I heard it was very pricey

That's the problem. I don't know where to send it n even if i do know and send it, I'm not quite confident with it. I wonder if there is any software that can retrieve all the files inside the hard disk. Plese Help

Know any Linux users? If the read/write heads are still good on the drive one way to retrieve files from a drive when a partition becomes inaccessible is with a live for cd Linux distro like Knoppix or ubuntu. Linux will show the drives on any system as desktop icons that can be opened to copy from one to another. For a failed drive the recovery would need a high priced professional service is correct. There are some data recovery programs like Active Undelete that may help.
