Retreive data from harddisk of a died vu+ duo

Hit there,

My Vu+ duo died yesterday due to lightning induction on the powergrid. The harddisk seems to be ok, but an attempt to read it in windows xp using ext2fs and other tools show the disk as being RAW. Used an digitus usb adapter cable to connect the disk. In windows disk management it shows up as healty, but I can't open it.

I had an older pli image on the machine  Version 2.??

Still lots of movies on there I would like to get from the disk.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
