You are basically out of luck with your save data. Installing your hard-drive in another PlayStation 3 will not work, because it is required that the hard-drive be formatted for the system, erasing all of the current hard-drive data. If you submit your PlayStation to Sony for repairs, be sure to periodically back-up your data from the new unit. I've had a repaired PlayStation break days out of its three month warranty, showing that even new units can be faulty. With that said, my friend has had his refurbished 60GB PS3 for a couple of years now, so they're relatively reliable. I wish you good luck in your repairs.
Also, Sony is currently offering (at least here in the states) a replacement 120GB Slim when you submit your 60GB PS3 and repair fees. You can still get the same model if you chose, but it's something to consider.
