if your friend knows what he / she's doing it's an incredibly easy thing to do. You could even do it. Just look into 2.5" to USB adapters that support your HD interface. It'll connect just like a giant flash drive and you can copy off the data..
This is all assuming what "fried" in your laptop wasn't the actual HD itself.
