Under warranty still?
It seems to me there is a Microsoft article if one googles on the Inaccessible etc.
I do not know whether opening the compartment where the hard drive is stored, doing a disconnect and then reseating (re-connecting) the "cables" connection would make a difference.
To get at the data on the drive, I could imagine purchasing something like a USB enclosure so it could be hooked up as an external drive, buying a new drive to put into the notebook PC and with that one doing a complete system "restore" to set up Windows, etc. again
If the original hard drive were to work as an external they you could copy what you need.
