You'll have to remove the hard drive from the laptop and connect it to another working computer, laptop or desktop PC.
You can use IDE adapter for laptop hard drives - for connecting it to a desktop computer.
You can use external USB enclosure for laptop hard drives for connecting it either to a desktop or laptop computer.
You'll find instructions for removing the hard drive in Dell service manuals, they are available for download from the Dell website.
Follow links for more information about IDE adapter and external USB enclosure.

Where should you sit your laptop?
Laptops should be put on a "Cooling Tray" or "Cooling Pad" as most people call it. If you do not wish to invest in a "Cooling Tray/Pad", do not set your laptop on a bed or carpet during use. A laptop, without a "Cooling Tray/Pad" should be on a desk or table at all times, so there is good ventilation. Failure to have ventilation can cause problems within the laptops hard drive. (Over heating) With a "Cooling Tray/Pad", a laptop may be placed anywhere, as long as the vents have space to maintain air flow to prevent over heating.
