Get the disk out of the enclosure. If what you get out isn't burned, you can put it in another enclosure and see if it works. If it's damaged, it's work for specialists. Try www.driversavers.com to see how much is will cost.

Any enclosure with the right interface (SATA or IDE) and the right size (2.5 or 3.5") should work. The usual cable fits all.
