If my laptop’s hardware and software have damaged, is it possible to retreat all my documents, songs etc?

My laptop brand is Toshiba and its hardware and software have damaged. I can’t turn on the laptop and after I sent it for repair, they said that the laptop must be reformated. What makes it worse is that if I choose to do so, all my documents, songs, pictures etc will be deleted.

Do you know any other solutions to repair it without deleting my informations? If my laptop has to be reformated, is it wise to upgrade it to Windows Vista? (I’m currently using Windows XP)

Your answers and opinions are much appreciated. TQ!

I installed Fedora, and now wish to uninstall Grub boot loader. The only way I can do that is with a windows XP CD and using the recovery console, I ask my friend and he lent his copy of XP. Once I get to the blue screen where it asks for options, I press recovery console, and then a screen appears stating hard drive cannot be detected… anybody knows how to fix this?

PC hardware:
Compaq Presario Notebook C306US
Operating Systems: Windows XP Media Center and Fedora Core 7
Harddrive: Seagate ST98823AS 80GB 5400RPM 2.5" Sata Laptop Hard Drive
