Neighborhood power failure while we were gone. [View all]

Neighborhood power failure while we were gone.

Computer was on but not when we got home.
Tries to boot up but fails. Windows 7.

Tries to do a self repair but gives up.
Hoping that the hard drive is still ok but maybe corrupted.

Buying another computer is not the problem.

Want to try a docking station that hooks up with usb and retrieve data.

Any suggestions other than sledgehammer?

What is diff between 3.5 and 2.5 size? Is the smaller one for laptops?
