The F:/ is not accessible File or Directory is Corrupted and Unreadable

Help!!!
OK....a few months ago my HP laptop suffered the Blue Screen of Death

I got a new laptop but wanted to get my files, photos etc off the old laptop. I recently got around to purchasing a hard drive enclosure and tonight got the time to try it. I removed the hard drive from the old laptop, put it in the enclosure and connected it to my new laptop via USB cable. Everything seemed to be going well, light flashing on enclosure and whirring noise coming from it.

This is where the problems started:
First a box appeared on the screen saying f:/ needed to be formatted, i closed that. Then when u go into Computer there is Local Disk (F:) and HP_Recovery (G:). When u go into G, which says there is 1.07GB free of 9.33GB, there is a file called Recovery and when you go into that it is empty. If u try and go into (F:) u get a box up on the screen that says:

The F:/ is not accessible
File or Directory is Corrupted and Unreadable.

Can anyone tell me how I could get this to work for me? Id greatly appreciate any help. Im not very computer literate so please dont get too technical on me!!! Thanks in advance!!!

g is the recover partition ,it contains s a copy of windows ,and misc programs to enable a full restore of the os to the hp laptop.if you put the drive back in the laptop, you could enable a full windows install from drive g,by pressing f11,
see here,http://www.ehow.com/how_4814366_boot-hp-recovery-partition.html

Of course this will format the drive,delete all your data,photos etc ,so dont do it at the moment.
try installing a program like recuva,or see here www.pcinspector.de
http://pcinspector.de/Default.htm?language=1
press en for english site.
download,install file recovery,read the faq and instructions first.before you use it.or recuva here,
or try http://www.piriform.com/recuva
http://www.piriform.com/recuva/features/recovery-from-damaged-or-formatted-disks


,there seems to be more info, a good faq on pc inspector,
so try that one first,
it should scan the drive and say theres x amount of files,do you wish to
recover these files, a scan may take 60mins plus.
read this first http://pcinspector.de/FileRecovery/instructions.htm?po=2&language=1

or try this,getdataback for ntfs, i,m presuming the drive is formatting in ntfs format.e to try
it says,re getback,
Download the trial version and recover your files. You can preview your data to be sure it actually works. If you like the results you do not need run the program again. Purchase the license key and enter it into the open program. Then copy everything you need!
if the laptop is less than 6 years old it,ll be formatted in ntfs.

you are not an expert ,so i,d advise start with pcinspector,do a scan ,see it that finds all the important files,
you, may need space on your pc to copy the files to.
