Make a image of the drive then.

 

95 should use mbr and show up, so good chance the data isn't in great condidion.

 

Get a data recovery service if the data is important.

No, it means that I can't offer any other assistance. 

 

I'd imagine you don't want to format the drive and lose everything.
