Extracting (Not Inception related)

Alrighty, I have some valuable information located on my oldschool black macbook hard drive that I need to extract out of. I dropped my Macbook last summer while on a trip to Japan and the screen has gone white.
I went to the store, bought the drive cage and now have it happily buzzing on my USB port. Now, the issue I'm having is that I'm using a PC to try extracting some files from the drive, but it prompts to format the drive. Do I do it or will I lose all my information ? Any tips on how to extract data from the drive on a PC ? Much thanks !

You'll need something to read the HFS+ filesystem. There's some software floating around that can read it on Windows (a lot of the stuff I've come across tends to be commercial products though, but having not used any I can't recommend). Me, I'd probably use a Linux liveCD and pull it out that way.
This is my personal favorite.
