YLOD backup?

Does anybody know whether whether it is possible to move a ps3 hd to another ps3 to backup the saved game data?

Will one ps3 recognise another ps3 hd with all the data intact?

Mine just died while playing resistance 2, I feel like throwing the system off something very high or running it over repeatedly with my car.

What recovery menu?

The system does not switch on! Well it does... for less than a second with nothing appearing on screen.

So I cannot use the backup utility or any recovery system AFAIK
