So what. The data could not be recovered not because of bad sectors

LOL, since you seem to be an expert at it, recover the data and
then you have proof!

I will if you only tell me how to make the disk visible in the system.

Your drive is dead, the data is gone... move on, you're just
wasting time now.

Most of the data (perhaps even all) is not gone - all plates (or most of
the
plates) are not damaged,

WRONG, they're covered with soot and unusable.
