HD become unformatted after crash

My computer crashed yesterday night. I was forced to reset the computer. After the restart, I can see the Hard Drive, but when i click on it, the windows asks me to format the drive. Is there any way that i can get the data back? thank you very much.
 
I am using Windows XP. thank you for helping me.
I tried to the PC Inspector Recovery. It did find some lost files on the HD; however, most of the condition are poor. So I still can use any of them. Thank you though.
I will now try the second program. Hopefully, I will have better luck this time.
 
Also, I forgot to mention that the HD i lost is actually my back up HD, which has all my data, photo, movies, and etc. My operating system running HD is not harmed.
I read the introduction website for the BartPE, but not sure how to use it at all. :(
 
Try a program called "Restoration" it is free and does a very good job.

my choice
File Scavenger or O&O recovery
lots more out there from what I read here most will get your data back whole or in part
demo soft issues
the app will show you recovered files
you buy app
then you find the files are corrupt

good luck
don't write to the problem drive
