porn, esko? is it because it's full of porn?
just kidding.
it's strange that crashing would stop it from spinning. sure data could become corrupt, but not spinning sounds like a 'hard' problem rather than just data.
try switching it with your primary drive to see if it spins then (obviously it won't boot without an OS, but at least you'll know if it spins).
if it does spin, and you can't be bothered to try and fix it properly, there are a lot of tools out there for data recovery (in fact most of those professional data recovery services just use out of the box packages). there're some trials and freeware examples of that kind of software here:

good luck though, i know it's a real bitch to lose important stuff.
