Try a Linux program them.
It'll take a little work, but you should be able to recover your data.
Just don't try and put the linux on the same disk as the problem.

Okey im assuming you can go inside windows and the OS is detecting the HD.
So have you tried using checkdisk? Does your HD has a logical drive? or an active partiton?

I freaking hate it when people cry about losing data... HATE IT. People need to realize that all the special grand kids photos and quick books files they put on a HDD are at risk to be lost at any point, thats why the smart person backs up his HDD every month or every three months. You have no choice kid. You need to back up, nuke and reload. Why do people always wait to have a problem before they need there data off?
