I agree with
@ajax
HDD's are PS3 specific and putting it in another PS3 formats it. The only thing I might say is copying it on a PC and transferring the music or whatever? But that even seems like a longshot and I dunno if it would work.  You probably just have to start from scratch

The HDD is encrypted and can ony be decrypted by your old PS3, The HDD serial is also stored in flash as second protection....
Only way is to fix your ylod temporary....

1. Working. 2. On 3.55 Rebug CFW. 3. You will need to have activated Debug mode in the Rebug Selector. So, your YLoD console needs to be working in order for you to use that option.

the decryption only allows the PS3 the HDD was connected to to read the HDD, no other PS3 will read it. Connecting it to a PC/laptop won't work either because of the decryption. The PC/laptop won't see any partition and only allows you to format the HDD destroying the data on it. The only way to read the HDD again is to fix the ylod: http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=30305
