Having trouble getting data from a drive

Okay, so here is the deal....
Xp system, wont boot, I have the restore disk, but its one of those lousy OEM ones that only wipes the drive and restores, so data will get lost.
I've tried to restore the boot sector through every other reasonable method known to man.
I pull the drive, its a run of the mille WD Sata 250 GB drive, I drop it into my personal windows 7 system, go to disk management, enable it on my system, but I can not access the disk data for some reason? Am I missing a step?

If that doesn't work, try a free program called Recuva.
Yeah, I tried running chkdsk, and it starts, then freezes, just wont complete scanning. I'm afraid he may have lost his data (another case for backup)
I'll check Recuva out, Thanks.
