If you can't get to BIOS setting, or it won't boot from Live CD after
resetting the boot sequence, your machine is in very serious trouble,
and the only solution I can see is to take it to a really savvy tech
and ask him to extract the HDD and get what he can from it. That will
cost you. ;(

Well, extracting the HD and taking files off yourself (via cable or
enclosure - the cable is cheaper and more versatile) shouldn't cost
much. I assume the OP has a second computer since he's still posting.

Actors are fairly modest...A lot of us have quite a lot to be modest about. -
