recovering some lost data

A friend's computer died, and she bought a new laptop. I'm trying to rescue her personal files from her old hard drive. I connected it to my computer with a USB device. Her hard drive comes up ok, but it says it's blank. According to Acronis, it has only one partition. Even though it's blank, Windows Explorer is telling me that 4GB of space is being used.

Is there anything I can do to rescue the files? Thanks!
