Is there any way in which I can access the contents of the drive please?
If not, is it safe to format it and re-use it please? If so, what should
I format it as ? ext3? ext4? Or something else?

Drives are cheap nowadays. Assuming you can get the data off the drive,
I can't see any good reason to trust it with your data again, even if you
can reformat it and partition it. were it me, I wouldn't!
