If you boot into a live linux cd (such as knoppix) and use the "mount" command you can access the files surrounded by raw binary mode no issue what the formatting is (if I remember correctly.)
Ther might be a prob wit damaged head on the disk or another mechanical one. First rotten, do not format it as you would loose all of your notes. Describe it, what kinda device is that(jsut a disk in a rack or a laptop disk or a portable my center storage....).
