It may now be too late to recover data, but to try:
Remove the hard drive and mount it in a 2.5" external USB case. Attach to a working system and see what you can still read. You may be able to recover some or all of your data before the drive fails completely.
If you cannot recover what you'll need, you'll then need to consider the cost of data recovery (minimum of a few hundred dollars). If so, Gillware (www.gillware.com) is recommended as reliable and reasonable in cost (several hundred vs. $1,000+ for most others).
