I have rotten luck

tephraSo we headed out to do some shopping for Christmas dinner supplies tonight. I grabbed me coat from the closet and decided to double check the ingredients for a pie I wanted to make. I grabbed the mouse and ZAP! The PC went dark and did a two tone warning buzzer. I unplugged it and we left to shop.
I plugged it back in when we got back and tried booting.
It doesn't boot. It gets as far as the XP start screen, flashes a blue screen too fast to read, and reboots.
If I can't boot from CD and recover some of my data I stand to lose all my websites in development, my NaNo novel, all the assorted graphics I've made, all my art, my email.... Basically everything but my music, manga, and anime, and that is assuming my second hard drive is okay.
I can recover my everything that was on my old machine, so I will "only" lose a year of stuff in the worst case, but... my NaNo novel.
