aliena-cordis See ya there!

As the title says... I lost my laptop and everything in the hard drive. My portfolio. TESIS. Homework, commissions, random art and personal art that never saw the light.
I feel, in other words, lost. But - what happened?! My samsung series 7 Chronos had system problem, it's not the first time that it tries to troll me. But this time it's permanent as I see it. The Windows OS got corrupted so it corrupted the Hard drive's partitions, making the information there inaccessible.
We made a backup but all the archives in that backup were corrupted :/ We did the F4 recovery thing and after the recovery, it gave us the same problem. " all boot options are tried. Press <f4> key to recover with factory image "
The guys tried everything, changing the Hard drives (We tried with 2 different hard drives, the laptop wouldn't recognize them) Using the UBUNTU mint to retrieve the files- they were corrupt, it was no use.
There was NO, NO WAY to access the BIOS in that computer, my furry fellow Jaime tried that for HOURS, I really need to thank him for all the help.
It seems that it's the laptop's fault and it's almost new! 1 Year and 2 months with me. The Samsung of Venezuela won't take it in even if it has international warranty. Brilliant.
Saving for a new laptop, here I go ? (and apologizing with the commission clients)
Sorry for my bad English. I can not speak English.

Delayed reply due to internet outage.
I noted the SabakuSuna and suggested she use an external hard drive enclosure. That will work for a non corrupted hard drive partition. Just note, anything you do to try and 'fix' the partition will cause more harm and data loss, then attempting to do a raw full hard drive data low level data recovery pass.
