sorry, I didn't see a more appropriate place to post this. if there is, please move it there 
i have a friend, who has an old PC. his died on him the other day. he said it would freeze at the windows logo screen and he got a BSOD. he has stuff on there he needs however. so i told him Id take a look for him.
I tried hooking up his PC to my monitor via VGA, and my monitor wouldnt read his computer? just went into power saver mode. so I hooked his HDD up to an external kit and tried to boot to UBCD4Win, but that game ME a BSOD? so i tried to see if i could just view it normally but when i plug the HDD, Windows wants me to format the HDD in order to view it. which of course, would be counter productive.
Disk Management says the file is Raw, which would imply there is no file system correct? which I know there is, which leads me to believe this disk is corrupted.
so how can I get files off his HDD? any other software I can try? i just had UBCD4Win from my days in school. Free options preferred. If the software needed costs money, I'll have to tell him to take it elsewhere
thank you!
