hdd problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello,
My ex HDD crashed, I mean in the computer's setup it recognize the HDD
Seagate (20 GB), but in Windows when i click on it, the windows explorer
shows me an alert message kind of: the HDD isn't formated! do you want to
format it now?. This HDD was primary master, but know I access it as primary
slave.
A very important thing for me is to recuperate the lost information from
that HDD.

Can somebody tells me if there is a solution?

Thank you a lot in advance!

Alex
