for access to the os system its possible to use a linux, live disc like
ubuntu. its a stand alone dvd. it can be used as a live disc without install. the machines boot order needs configuring, this will help to set the cd 1st boot.

a linux/ ubuntu dvd can help to move off your crucial data to a flashstick or portable hdd.

if its possible to have access to another machine, download the ISO from the link. the iso will need to be burnt as a boot disc, (iso) not as data.
look to the lower part of the page: Not now, take me to the download ›

another option would be to slave the HDD to another machine, (if available). using a usb cable or enclosure. plugged into a usb of another machine it would be seen as an external drive and the personal data could be transferred over to the internal hdd, disc, or another usb.
