I concur. try putting it in an external drive case and hooking it up to a working computer first. Data may very well be salvageable, just may have a bad boot sector or something like that.

Try a hardware solution first. This is pretty cheap ($50 or less)... There exist these little gizmos that supply power and an interface (IDE, SATA, perhaps even floppy) to a drive.
