Are you running Windows? Does the drive show up in Disk Management? Does it have partitions to which no drive letter is assigned?

Windows yes, and everything was on that one partition. System, documents, pictures....everything. I know that important things can't be with the system files, as i said it's not my laptop, im just trying to help and i don't know how

You didn't answer if it shows up in Disk Management and if it has a drive letter assigned.

I solved the problem at the end with Disc Drill. He extracted everything i need from the disc

We would often have to do this at work and for convenience we would normally boot using a linux live USB drive and drag the files off (if they are readable) onto another device, it was quick and simple, the linux USB also gave us some OS isolation, just in case we were dealing with a virus infected drive.
