last night i was gaming and suddenly my pc instantly shut itself down and when i started it again a message appeared saying like "insert a bootable device and press a key" , i tried reinstalling windows 10 on it but it appeared as a single partition with 0mb capacity (literally) with the message win cannot be installed on this drive , i wasn't able to delete it either and create new partitions or anything , so i used my old hard drive & installed win on it , however as i plugged it into the new operating system , it showed up on device manager as "st1000lm035-1rk172" which is the hdd model & it says that the device is working properly but it doesn't show up on "This-Pc" i checked a different tab on its properties and it shows that it has 0mb used/usable/unallocated capacity on it , i tried using disk managing tool & it asked me if i wanted to initialize it as gpt or mbr hdd both options instantly fails With an error , and it shows up as "Unknown" on the list with a red x in front of it and "not initialized" caption below it
Note that I don't care about fixing the hard drive if there is no possible solution but is there any way to get my 900gb of lost data back ?
Also all of the sata / power cords are well connected on it

Yes it spins up and everything without making any of those noises , it used to do some random beeps like a laptop beep codes every once in a while for the past 3 months but i didn't really get concerned about them as it was working perfectly fine even tho i made a reaserch on them but didn't find anything

it does make SOME noises after powering it on right? And I am not talking about the Whirr of the platters spinning up. There should be some clicking and ticking as it initially reads the platters and then settles down waiting for work.
