That's not a good sign at all. Could you feel it spinning inside the case? It's worth trying the same on a Linux system which is less precious about Windows partitioning.

If you download, say, Linux Cinnamon Mint from the Net and use a utillity named Rufus, you can create a bootable thumb drive. Change your BIOS to boot from USB and when the system is running, introduce the hard disk and see if that shows any data.

It's unfortunate but that one occasion might have upset things. Was it always the H: drive or could there be another Partition containing your data?

Plug it in the USB again and this time, go into Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management and see how many Partitions that disk has.
