Hi,

Thanks for the reply. My problem is that OS is corrupted. Windows 7 I am using. This laptop has 4 drives. C, D, E (Recovery) and F. To take the back up of the data, I connected the hard drive to another Laptop, which also has 4 drives. When I connect my hard disk, my hard disk drives are showing with the following name K, L(Recovery) M, N . From this I am able to open K and L drives and copy the data. But M drive is showing NTFS, instead of showing disk size and when I click on it for opening, "Access Denied" message is showing. Please let me know what I can do recover the data from the C drive of this hard disk.

Yeah, I got that. :)
As you can't simply access M:, you need to download some data recovery tool and try to retrieve the data that way.
Another thing you can try is to run Disk Check on M: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html

Also, some users use a Live version of Ubuntu(booting from a CD or USB) in similar situations and manage to access the drive. I guess you can this one too. Check this out: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/267999-32-recover-data-mode
