Looking to recover a HDD from my old laptop.

Not sure what caused it, but i plugged it in using an external enclosure and it shows up as RAW instead of NTFS, and requires me to format. I need the data on there so I searched on these forums to find a solution and i have tried both my usual tricks and testdisk. EASEUS has found my files, I know they are there, but I'm looking for a free solution and there is way more than 1gb.

I have testdisk & Hirens Boot CD both at my disposal and i'm looking to recover everything possible off of this HDD.

Recuva unfortunately is not recognizing the drive, so i'm just going to cave and spend the cash, once i get my next paycheck, on EaseUS. Testdisk scans the HDD but has some errors (been a day or two since i tried it). I hate to spend money at the moment just because my finances are in a tight position. But I need the data on there as my resume was part of it.
