To protect yourself: before actually connecting the drive up, google the model number to find the jumpers and set the jumper for "read only". This will prevent you from accidentally writing to o formatting the drive.

This is the first thing i would try if it was me... Hook it up to your desktop sata/ide then check with
hd health program. I use crystal disk info.
You could also try Unstoppable copier, it copies all the files it can from a failed hard drive. Copies everything it can and tries to rebuild the fragments it copied.
