if the hard drive has sustained functional damage then NO. The recovery CD only restores configuration of the original factory settings to functioning hardware. Most of the time, Bluescreens in windows are because of hardware problems. take the computer to a specialist and have them check the hardware such as the memory, the pci cards and the hard drive.

If you start the notebook with a Linux CD, you might be able to recover your data. You'll need an external drive to save it to. You'll have to run the dd program in Linux (oe ddrescue, which will work even better.) http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/learn-the-dd-command-362506/
