It would have had to be a very powerful magnet to erase the drive -- more likely is a coincidental drive failure.

Unplug the system, remove or disconnect the battery and hold the power button for 30 sec.  Remove and reinstall the hard drive -- if it's then still not seen, replace it.

If you need further information, we'll need to know what model system (i.e., Inspiron N5110, 5523, etc.) you have.
