As the laptop does not boot, one of the easiest procedures for transferring the files and folders, is to remove the failed hard drive from the laptop and use a USB adaptor similar to THIS, attach the hard drive to an USB port on a working computer, then try to transfer the files and folders to it.

If the hard drive is too damaged, the above may not work, then you would need the services of a data recovery company and this could be expensive.

Note: Only data files and folders can be transferred, any applications, utlities and programs, need to be reinstalled from their CD's, or downloaded from the publisher's website.
