Does something smell like it's burning? If it does, it may be kaput.

is there not anyway i can connect hard drive to another computer and do a system restore?
or copy / scan or something ?

What you really need is to get into the restore partition, but it might not necessarily have one of those! You mentioned earlier that you had connected the hard drive to another computer. (At least I think you did!) What happened then? Did the computer recognise it?

EDIT: No problem, we'll still be here tomorrow (Hopefully )
