This dudes is a home user, so they are gonna take their lappie apart, get a converter so they can slave it into a.n.other machine, then use whatever util, do the recovery (if it will, which after all this activity on a laptop sized hard drive which probably only has a relatively small capacity & is therefore more likely to have been overwritten by any re-install) oh & then put it all back together in a working state.
The solution would appear to be more work than 're-doing' !
My point is that 'we' generally are skilled hands, what may be appropriate for any of 'us' to try, really is quite different from what you ought to be advising someone without 'expertise' to be undertaking ...
Now you can take that as a flame if you feel so inclined, but I'd suggest you were just thinking about how YOU might achieve this, not someone who had to ask about it all in the first place ... :)
