Looking for some basic data recovery software. Any advice please?

Got a laptop with a hard drive which seems to be absolutely "Thomas Cooked" to the extent it's made my system slow when plugging it in.

Symptoms of the HDD are:
- Wouldn't boot into Windows 7 - Would get to the "Windows" loading screen and then blue screen.
- Tried Windows 7 Recovery, cannot repair or install to HDD as I click next and nothing at all comes up.
- Strangely enough there is a label on the HDD titled "Replace with HD spare"

This is what happens when I try to open;

It's been there for about 5 minutes now.
 
Drop the drive into a USB caddy as it'll stop the system freezing so much when it hits problems on the drive then try and recover.
