    Hi - I havean external 320gb 2.5inch drive in an enclosure. The drive has lots of videos of my baby girl on it. It came out of my PS3 after my PS3 broke...

    I need to get the data off the drive but when I plug it into my PC it is not recognised. It does not show up in explorer.

    When I go to disc management I can see it but it wants me to format it before I can access the drive. Obviously formatting is not an option.

    Can somebody please help - these files are very important to me. Thanks
