1 thing you might try is put in a small cheap hard drive and install windows on that, then once you are booted, back up the files you need and then reformat the original drive and reinstall.
If the files in question are pictures, email's and such, you could just install that drive as a slave in another computer and pull the items off you need and then reformat that HDD.
All that is based on the assumption that, that hard drive is not already toast, or completely corrupted.
