Is it possible to recover lost files from a Laptop?

My friend removed her laptop hard drive because the laptop was fried and put it into her desktop as a secondary. I am not here with her so I am just going by what she has told me but she can not access here documnents, pictures, music, videos, etc..The hard drive says it is only 15GB but she said it is a lot larger than that. I googled around a bit and still have no idea on how to access these hidden files. Any help would be amazing! Thanks!
