    puck23,
    Get yourself another Hard Drive and install an operating system, once you get it running connect the submerged Hard Drive as a slave or via a USB enclosure and see if you can get the info off the Hard Drive. Was it fresh or salt water that it was submerged in, fresh is bad saltwater is worse. I've heard that you can soak it in some sort of solvent that will absorb the water (perhaps metho, or pure alcohol(not whisky))and then not leave any residue. Good luck with it. Let us know how you get on.
