Yikes! But do remember, system does not necessarily equal data. Even if your lappy's OS is hosed, popping out the HD and putting it in an external chassis to talk to another comp isn't impossible. It's how I rescued stuff off a drive that claimed to be dying and bluescreened left and right in its old case. Not all hope is lost yet. Good luck for you and your techie friends.
