Before you start any repair attempt you should find a computer that can run Linux and has an IDE connector. This you will use to make an image of the whole drive, if possible.

Hm. Can you actually connect the harddrive to another computer? At home?

The very same. Run an OS that doesn't care much about it and make an image. You can run Linux from a live CD on almost anything.
You can use Windiskimager too, but Windows will probably try to fondle with the drive, so Linux is better.
At last resort WinUAE can be used to access the drive in read-only mode to copy the contens.
