It may be possible to mount the hard drive in your tower case, boot the tower to Linux using Knoppix, and then pull the files off of the laptop drive. Knoppix would be able to work past a corrupted MBR, and may be able to recover other files.
Mounting rails for a laptop drive are about 20 bucks. Knoppix is free. Hope this helps.
