Here is the situation.
I have 2 laptops.
The one I am on is working.
My previous one is screwed.
I am willing to PayPal any tech who knows how to fix this problem.

The Operating system (Windows XP) can not be recognized.
The hard drive inside the laptop (which I can not even begin to figure
out how to take out) is the only contents I wish to retrieve, rescue,
save.

I can get to the point of partitioning the computer through the "wwbmu"
prompt but everything is written in German, which I could wing through
it all but truthfully I don't know anything about partitioning without
destroying the contents on my hard drive.

I also have a Windows 98 bootup CD (in English) which is more or less
asking me create a partition but if I do that will that destroy my hard
drive contents or what?

The options are :

1. Create partition
2. Delete partition
3. Select bootable partition

Can I save my hard drive contents by repartitioning or what?

The only Windows XP disc set that I have came with the laptop and it
will completely restore my laptop to it's original condition wiping out
all the contents on the hard drive.

Anyway, I am willing to PayPal anyone who can rescue my hard drive any
fee needed.
Just please be some tech who knows what he's doing (lol).
I have a cell phone where talking is free after 7pm Central so I can
call you or if you have a cell phone you can call me.
Or we can do it through AIM (Instant Message).
But I think it would be better/quicker for both of us by cell phone.

Email me and I can give you my cell phone number and we can take it
from there:
