filesystems - SMART Failure Predicted on Hard Disk

The other day I rebooted my laptop and found I was unable to log back in or even boot my regular (HDD installed) OS.


Now I'm getting the following error at boot-time/startup:


SMART Failure Predicted on Hard Disk 4: TOSHIBA MK5059GSXP-(S1)

What can I do to fix the drive? I really only need to get it working long enough to backup some files. Then I can just ditch it, and replace it.
