Booting Linux on your Mac won't help. Safecopy doesn't repair the data on your drive, it just copies data from one drive to another drive -- but it does so very carefully, going back and re-reading bad sectors and narrowing down the amount of unreadable data.
You'd need a second computer with extra drive space greater than or equal to the entire size of the hard drive in your Mac.
I think you've gotta find some local help with this. It's tough to do much about it from here with less than a day before your work is due.
