get an external enclosure, put the laptop drive in there, and connect it to a working computer
Exactly what primate said. Stating the obvious but make sure though when you purchase one (should only cost a few bucks from newegg or somewhere) that you get a 2.5" enclosure instead of a 3.5" one. Slide the laptop HDD in and connect to another rig and voila.
Or use an adapter to plug it into your desktop might be cheaper alternative.
boot into linux with a ubuntu boot cd
then, just like in windows, access the hdd like you would in windows and transfer to a memory stick or something.
you just need to mount the hdd in linux which is easy enough to do.
