Not able to backup my Mac data

[sahil13gupta]

I am not able to see my macbook pro local data while booting it thru external harddrive (OS X marvericks)

Note- my maching is crashed,every time I starts up my machine it starts with OS X utility window.
Alos tried disk utility bt says back up as many as files as possble and reinstall OS.

Could be that the hard drive is totally done. The idea of a backup is to back up before something bad happens not after!
