Ditto with Drkanchho,
try taking Battery out and putting it back, and only on power source. Unless it is Hard Drive itself (very unlikely) your data is safe and can easily be retrived. There are several cheap enclosers you can buy, which will convert your HDD to external USB HDD.
Even if it is a sector of HDD, I had seen one software (dont remember now) that will move the data from that sector and block those sectors to use for data storage so, your HDD will just jump the secor/s and work fine.
If it is relatively new laptop/ HDD connection may have SATA connector, which you can easily connect directly on SATA port of other computer to retrive Data, but make sure you slave it....... if you go this way.
Good luck.
And yes HP/Compaq/gateway laptops are "kawadi" I got one HP, died just after one year......had to open it allthe way upto Motherboard, Heatsink and was able to bring it back on life........... and is still working but runs really hot.
