I second (third?) removing the hard drive and hooking to another laptop or desktop, whatever is available. I use an Apricorn EZ external drive to back up my laptop. When hooked to my desktop, I can read and copy all/any data I wish. As mentioned, sounds like your boot sector is corrupt.

I've had to "rebuild" my son's hard drive a couple times after he visited some torrents site and downloaded garbage.
