Help accessing files (windows doesn't recognize file system)

Hi,

I have had the blinking light problem for a long time. I’ve heard people say just wait it out. I’ve let it sit for over a week with no success. I’ve tried to hit the reset button in the back. Nothing. So I decided to take the hd out and stick it into a hd reader dock. Now the problem is how do I get windows to read the files? Or is there another way to recover my files? I’m getting desperate.

Thank you in advance.
