Recover data from hard drive

[syntol_aw]

While installing Leopard some error message was displayed but i ignored that and continued the process. After restating my machine there is nothing just empty blue screen is coming. I have important office documents on my hard drive and i don't want lose those files.

How to solve this problem..?

I am very confused. You tried to install a new OS on a drive that has important files in it?
What is the fs? HFS?

I am afraid you will need data recovery pro now.

nothing wrong, i am confident but not sure user means installing preserving filesystem, like in windows new installation you get windows.old folder with prevoious datas, or maybe in a different partition.

finishing installation he found that drive was not responding and he is asking help.becouse now he realize drive is ill.
