Your hard drive could be shot but it is also possible that your sata controller is bad or you have a bad cable. These are things to test as they are generally cheaper than replacing the hard drive (especially the cable).

The best thing to do would be to see if you have a friend with a sata controller in their computer and see if your drive will boot on their computer.
