Hard Drive not working

Goodday Linus Tech Tips Community! 
I have a friend whose PC is stuck on the windows 7 logo and won't progress to desktop. 
When I put in my ssd in his PC I can get to desktop just fine; and then I connected his hard drive as a second/slave hard drive and it just blacks screen. 
When booting into safe mode it stops at classpnp.sys
I tried a windows 7 repair disc and the startup repair seems like to run for 1 hour and still isn't finished so I cancelled the startup repair and then checked the log and it passed a lot of tests. His hard drive works and there aren't any loud clicking sounds from the hard drive. I think he needs to replace it but we're hoping we could at the very least get his files. PLEASE HELP.

So it turns out I have to wait like 20 minutes to get to desktop with his hard drive plugged in.

Still on IDE configuration.

 

I'm confused Windirstat says his partitions are not nearly full while windows explorer says it's about to be full.
