It's not a simple fix here. DVRs don't use any traditional computer file system. Most are totally proprietary. While there are a few who will provide a program you can use to read the video data, most don't make it readily available. Most often your best option is to buy a matching unit and put the hard drive into it. That or you can try out this overpriced software: http://dmeforensics.com/Technology/DVRExaminer/
