What I have done is quite simple. Remove the drive from he laptop and install
it in an external drive case (mine has a sata/ide connector). then, boot a
Linux system and plug in that drive via usb connector. Assuming the partition
is not fully borked, you should be able to read and transfer the files from
that drive to your local machine.
Worked for me.
