You may be able to use a bootable linux cd(ubuntu) in live mode to look at the drive and see if the files are still in tact if they are, you should be able to move what you want to a flash drive.

If you have access to another computer, removal of the old drive makes it FAR more easy to get your files off and onto the system you are using.

What is the error you get when booting. Rare to have a power out mess it up that bad.
