You could get another laptop whether off a mate or bought from a shop and returned at a later date lol and then put your old hard drive in that then access the files and either email them to yourself or store them on some sort of media.

IDE to 2.5" cable £4.99 at Maplin (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=28724&C=Maplin&U=SearchTop&T=2.5&doy=20m8)

I suggest you try the one in the centre of town on pinstone street, the hillsborough one doesn't have half the stock
