Probably be able to recover the data if it is a slave drive to another disk that is still working and has windows on it - maybe get a lead to connect it via the usb to a working computer?
Maybe try booting from your windows CD and seeing if you can reinstall windows - the other Data will still be there unless you re-format the disk.
If the disk seems totally broke, hold on to it - amazing how these things can become usable again after a long period - maybe it's static or something. I had a laptop that exipred then came back up after 10 years!!
