Looking for someone who can repair old laptop:

Compaq LTE/Lite 486 25/c recently (old laptop) dropped...problem is, it has
my good friends masters thesis (2.5 weeks from completion) is on there, with
no backups (though she does have paper printouts of all info)

It begins to boot Win 95, but then says "cannot read c: drive, Abort, Retry,
Ignore" and then does not do anything else.

I need to see:  is this repairable (something needs
reconnection/replacement).  If not repairable, can we get the data files
from the drive.

Thanks.  It's also for a good cause (she is in community develpment field).
