If you need the data off the hard drive for the laptop, why don't you take it apart, get an adapter to connect to another machine and grab the data off of it? I mean, it sucks that the laptop is dead from the water damage but the hard drive and it's contents may be just fine...

As a person who has gone thru many data losses, I can totally feel you on that. Whether it be external forces or not, it sounds like you had some pretty unique stuff to help others out. If you still feel like putting in the time to get it out, I'd highly suggest you do. If you are not motivated about it, move on to something else that may take a lot less time, finish that, and get the motivation to work on that project again, if you can.

Take it easy, man
