The disk-drive inside the casing has a probably-fatal problem.
Search online for a professional "Data Recovery Service";
ship them your disk-drive, they repair it, just long-enough to copy
all your files onto a brand-new disk-drive, or to burn to DVD-recordable media. Their services are _EXPENSIVE_ -- but "invaluable".
