had this problem before - you might be lucky and be able to detach the control board and stick the drive into one of these and see if you can see your data

You could pop to Maplins / PC world and buy an external caddy for it.

Depending on the size of the Hard drive - heres one for example

If you can't fix it yourself try the pc repair shop on Castle St. I have a very good experience with them recovering files from a memory card I messed up.
