I will not get another mac (money issues) is there any way I can recover the drive there is a windows install (via bootcamp) if that will help in any way.

Just remove the drive…put it into an external enclosure…then plug into a 2nd computer.

Thank you very much for that information

A PC will have no trouble with the Windows install but will not be able to read the Mac partition. Paragon Software's HFS+ for Windows will probably do the job but it is not free:-

I should have mentioned…a 2nd Mac computer. And this is for reading this HD…not necessary booting the 2nd computer…since we have no idea what model the 2nd Mac would be.
