HDD swap on laptops is fairly straightforward, most of them can be pulled out by removing a couple of screws or simply unlatching a catch. If you can get it to boot from floppy disk (assuming you have a FAT32 format) backup what you can first. Alternately replace it and find out if your local puter shop or some friendly puter buff will slave it to another machine and extract your files. The suggestion to go as big as it will handle with the replacement is a good one.
