    if you know someone else with a mac, then you can try the old firewire transfer thing

    boot up you computer holding the T key, it will flash a firewire symbol on the screen

    then use a firewire cable to connect your laptop to the other mac and your HD should mount on their desktop...i did this before replacing my wife's HD myself....

    she didn't have applecare at all...but i got all her data off...

    just don't click on any folders that you don't absolutely need, cause if they are corrupt or something it will freeze the finder and such on the other mac

    hope that helps, good luck
