You might want to get an external case for your HD. I assume
it is a 2.5 inch drive so here is a link to a BUNCH of HD
cases with USB interface for about $15 (+/-).

I've recovered data this way for a number of systems. Just pull
the hard drive and install it into the USB case and then plug
that into the USB port of another computer. I keep a few of the
HD cases (3.5 inch) ones around -- both USB 2 and FireWire
just in case something goes wrong with the dozen or more computers
around here. I just don't happen to have a 2.5 inch case.
