Go install another Windows on a different hard drive, and mount that
partition, backup the data to that hard drive, and reinstall the old
hard drive.
(you can get a Maxtor 160 GB for $80)

Or if you don't want to spend some $$$ for new hard drive, go download
Knoppix (Linux), mount the partition, and FTP the files to some
temporary place.
