You'd need to recover the disk. Put it in the same type of Hard drive without damaging the disk/anything really/ No dust, No nothing. 

 

You should let a professional do it. Dont bother trying honestly. It'll break so easily.

If you have a PC that still uses IDE cables and that can boot into it's own OS, then just plug this disk in and boot on the PC and drag the files to a USB drive or whatever else fits your needs.

If you have problem that you have no IDE on board, then...

 

If your drive is dead then... sorry, but there is nothing you can do, unless you spend more money that is worth.

He did not say the drive is dead, jsut the OS is corrupted. All he needs is an IDE interface.
