How to open corrupted hard disk without formatting

[tendou_souji]

Hello,
My laptop's 250gb Hard Disk Drive has failed and I tried to replace it with a news 250gb hard drive

I tried to backup files from the old hard drive by putting it inside a external hard drive case and connect it to the computer but my computer wont recognize it and it says that i need to format it

is there any other way to backup the files from my old hard drive? please help me any help is greatly appreciated

This has happened because you put the drive into an external enclosure.

Free and easy answer: Download Kubuntu and Linux Live USB Creator (Lili)
Create a Live Linux USB disk with persistence using Lili
put the bad drive into the laptop and boot from the USB stick (see manufactures website about BIOS settings)

You can now access the drive without the enclosure and burn the files to disk, move files to another disk, or move files to another networked computer
