Help recovering information from Windows

I brought my laptop to work and connected to our work network and the
network tried to put our work image on my computer. My laptop is pretty
screwed up right now. I can't get to Windows at all.

I know I can just buy a windows OS disk and reformat but I want to recover
the information on my computer. I thought about trying to take the hard
drive out and putting it into an external case but I've never taken apart a
laptop before and I'm not sure if it would even work.

I read some time ago on Digg that you could use an Ubuntu live cd and mount
the drive but I really have no idea how to do that and would need very
specific instructions. Does anyone know where I could find instructions for
doing this and recovering my information?

I appreciate the help and any advice anyone has.

Thanks,

Amanda
