    Can you access the old drive at all?

    If no, try www.sysinternals.com who have some utilities that may give you access.

    If yes, are there some sections you can't get to?

    If no, say what data you want and someone will tell you where to locate it.

    If yes, have you tried doing (from a command prompt) chdksk /f (or if you have more time to spare, chdksk /r which is more exaustive)?
