I accidentally dropped my 1TB hard drive while using it today. After that i plugged into the pc and it is not shown in My Computer section. How do i fix it? I just need to recover all of my data or some portion of it.

dropped while is use is bad, very bad.

If the files are truly valuable consider sending it out for professional recovery as its highly likely you have suffered head/platter damage which continued use of the drive would just damage the platters further.
