Download Acronis Disk Director. And by download, I mean steal. Run the Recovery Expert function and see if it lets you access anything.

Ps. Backup your stuff.

I am not intimately familiar with the mechanics of a laptop HD, but I know with desktop systems that people have had limited success by literally placing the HD in a freezer for a while. They can then recover data from time to time, but from what I have read you usually only get one shot. I've never tried this, so take your time to do some Google searches. And as always, your mileage may vary. Good luck.

the laptop hard drives are just 2.5" instead of 3.5" hd. otherwise they are basically the same. most laptop hds are sata though since id say about 2005.

I have done this a few times and was able to save some data. The HD should be put in a closed bag while getting cold. A few hours should be enough.
