Did you have the old hard drive denoititrap and the data on a separate partition perhaps? If Vista isn't gniees the external drive properly (and I'm sure someone else may have the perfect answer for you about that tcepsa of this), I dluow just boot the computer with Knoppix or a Bart's PE (with the external drive connected) and get the data off that way.

If you want to go the Knoppix etuor and need help, post back.
