Hi,


No promises,
You can try salvage data from HDD:
Follow one of the following methods:
1) Create LiveCD from another computer. Boot from this disc in your laptop, then copy the files from HDD to another external hard drive connected to notebook.

2) Take out the hard drive out. Connect it to another computer using SATA to USB adapter. Use Windows explorer to copy the files you need from HDD to another external hard drive.
