I took the drive out and attached it to the laptop and it said the drive needed to be re-formatted. We don't want to lose some stuff on the drive. Is there a way around this or is the harddrive dead? The secondtime we tried it with the laptop we had no responce.

Try hitting F8 repeatedly while your computer is booting. This should get you to the boot menu, allowing you to select a from a number of options, such as Safe-Mode.

I would use Handy Recovery to recover any data from the old HD.

It's next to the "any" key.
