Help! My laptop drive seems to be dying, and while I did keep backups, the
last one was a bit old.

Okay, I found that the fixit disk is able to mount the filesystem on the
dying drive. But I have a couple of problems.
1. Since this is a laptop (no CD-R or other mass storage besides the drive)
I need a way to get a few big tarballs made and sent elsewhere. I don't
think a floppy will work.

Which media do you intend to backup to? If I were in your place, I
would just tar the /home and the /etc and put it on a USB drive or on
a CDR/DVDR if you have a burner. However, Are you sure that the drive
is fixed firmly into the drive bay and you are seating the laptop on a
sturdy base?
