MacBook Pro can't see the HDD

Question

MacBook Pro can't see the HDD

Several days ago my mid 12, 13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.5GHz Dual-core Intel i5 with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 refused to follow any commands. To restart it I holded the on/off button for some seconds and it switched off. Then I switched it on, but it showed me the Language-choosing bar, and then OS X Utilites. I choose disk utility but it is unable to verify or repair the disk. Seems like MacBook can't see any disk in it. What's wrong? Is it possible to get the files from the disk? The disk is Samsung 500GB SSM8F 655-1786B *DL6325504R6F6C1AT*

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

A new HDD will be required. After you install the new HDD, then connect the old one via USB and see if the data is accessible.

I got the HDD out of MacBook and connected it via USB to iMac. Disk utility sees it but not enough to repair and Finder couldn't see it at all!

What are the iMac Finder Preferences?
