Not really.

Boot off of a current live cd, plug in a USB drive, mount it. Mount your
existing partitions and copy the files over to the USB drive. At least
then your data is safe. *Then* worry about recovering your operating
system. Probably need a new disk though, if this one failed badly enough
to stop booting.
