In order to get the data off that drive, you have to put it back in the PS3. Then you can either copy each game data file, or saved game file to a USB device. Or you can just run the system backup and back it up to a USB device

OK THANKS FOR REPLYING, you know what i mean i have a 2,5" hard drive i put it in the enclousure usb, it won't be recognised by ps3, won't show up or let me open it ,

how do i do it please so i can copy it all at once or just onto my computer and then on the other drive

The original hdd is in an exclosure? And your PS2 currently has a different hdd in it?

You've lost your data. If you put the original hdd back in, it will want to format it, since your system is now paired with your new hdd. You gotta regularly back up your data, at least your save data. I got a memory stick i copy my game saves to regularly.
