To make a long story short, fortunately I did not lose any data, managed to get everything off the old hard-drive, email has been restored and everyone got paid on time.

Secondary lesson: when you start thinking it's time for a new laptop, get one. Don't assume, dumbly, that "eh, it will hold out" and then be forced to buy one that is not ideal, on short notice, in a country where these things are not cheap, they come with weird Spanish keyboards, and "cutting edge" is a 2012 model (my old 2011 model is actually faster. Was faster...).
