Recently my laptop hard drive has failed. I can no longer boot from it and when I use a hard drive enclosure to try and backup the data before reinstalling Windows it tells me the hard drive is not formatted. I need to get some data off the drive before I clear it but I can't figure out how to. Could someone help me?

Try using Getdataback http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-downloads.htm
It should work fine, as long as the drive still mounts.
