Then you need proper tools to work with this and fix it and get off your data. You can invest in a DDI or Atola to do this one with. From what you say your drive is seen correctly but seems you have some internal problems but without seeing the HDD it is hard to say what they are. Could be bad sectors in the beginning of your HDD, partition problems. MBR problems to name a few on this one. But like I say can not tell you what they are from what you have said on this one.

Seems your system sees your drive right but you can not open it up. That is what I am understanding from what you have written. Advise to find a shop to take it too this sort of repair should not cost that much for you to get it done.
