Try the hard drive in a different computer. If you dont have acess to another computer, look on craigslist. Often there are free or very low cost computers available.

If it wont boot up in a different computer, try configuring it as a slave drive.

If the drive still wont release its data, your ptions may only be a data recovery service which is quite expensive.
