It is more likely that the disc is rusted to the input shaft, in which
case you are SOL. 

Be careful if you try the "drop" technique, you could cause some damage.
Use fourth gear and don't go above 5 mph on the speedo to avoid over
stressing the gearbox.  

Your best bet is to bite the bullet and replace the clutch, its
hydraulics, and all the brake components if this car has been sitting
for awhile. 

Have fun!
