Meg reminded me of your itinerary, and I realize now that my first post won't help much. Try getting an <a href="http://www.google.com/products?q=laptop+hard+drive+enclosure+USB" rel="nofollow">external enclosure kit</a> for a laptop hard drive. You can pull your old disk out, install it in this, and hopefully pull most of your files off. You'll probably need to get <a href="http://www.google.com/products?q=laptop+hard+drive" rel="nofollow">a replacement HDD</a> for your laptop. It sounds like the bad sector is in the boot sector, so hopefully your files are all intact. Me again! Meg reminded me of your itinerary, and I realize now that my first post won’t help much.

I can probably get all your files off that hard drive if we can arrange to meet sometime where I can look at the laptop. I'll have to take the hard drive out of the laptop, but should be able to retrieve the files fairly easily. Email me if I can be any help whatsoever. You guys are still out on your trip right?
