I have a 12gig IBM Travelstar DARA 212000

It has Windows XP Professional installed on it
but Windows won't start because of errors created
when then the laptop the drive was in lost power.

Is there a way to fix these errors so I can read
the drive using a USB Enclosure?

Plugging in this drive via USB causes Windows XP/2000
to freeze up badly until I remove it.

Drive is assigned a letter but I can't read the contents.

I don't care about recovering Windows
just getting access to the saved files..
