Assuming you have tried the Windows Safe Mode, you could use a linux-based Live CD, like Knoppix to access your hard disk's contents.
Steps to follow:
1. Download the Knoppix ISO image file
2. Burn the image file onto a disc
3. Change your boot option, to load from the CD/DVD drive first
4. Insert the Knoppix disc
5. Connect your external hard disk
6. Reboot and wait for Knoppix to start up
7. Access the contents of your drive and recover the data

You mean this disk will automatically transfer my files into a disk?
