It's going to need that HDD replaced, and firmware reloaded.

There were firmware updates about 3 years ago to prevent so many premature HDD failures. It's hard to say whether your machine got that update.

Well thanks for your response
But how can i get that firmware??
I am not a toshiba technician but i have abilities to understand this machine i am a technician of ricoh and hp which doesn't store their firmware in their hard drive the problem is that the adi drive has been converted to sata how should it revert back to adi
I hope this could figure out whats the problem is actually

When you install a functional ADI drive, format the drive, and re-load firmware it will work. NO, you cannot substitute some other random drive that's sitting on your desk right now. =^..^=

Well thats informative, but can the same drive is use to reload firmware?? And do you have the firmware for this model??

You won't know until you try. I don't waste much time trying to save dying HDDs. Usually you'll get to repeat the procedure again within a week.
