FWIW, once I had a failing laptop drive - which didn't boot, and just beeped at me. Fortunately, I was able to see the partitions (using fdisk -l) when booting a Live CD. I was able to use dd_rescue to recover nearly everything. It took hours. However, if your co-worker is beyond the reading by Live CD stage, that's another matter.
