Re: Program that tells file name from sector number?

Pull the HD out, plug it into a desktop (suitable connectors are available), and recover her data.

BTW, the notebook's drive (a Toshiba 75 gb) was too hot to touch.
Never a good sign.

Therefore, I'd suggest you next go out and buy a new laptop HD, and do a fresh install on that. Given bad sectors and overheating, the current HD is likely dying.

Does the Dell's fans still run ?
