boot the harddrive from another computer as a slave and try PC File Inspector (downlaod from the download.com) you should be able to get some data back (i am sure that you will lose some). it works for me last time.

I'm trying to help my parents with their computer. It keeps freezing. They were running Windows 98se, so I sought to upgrade them to Windows 200 prof. At the point where the OS starts looking for installed components, it freezes. Rebooting doesn't help, it just keeps freezing.
I tried putting the hard drive in another computer. I get past the notification that it has been upgraded to NTFS, then I get the blue screen of death. If I try to use it as a slave, I get a message that it is unformatted.
Nothing was backed up of course.
Is there anything I can do to save the data?
