        lol if you dont know how to do it, telling you over the internet might be useless.

        i would get a linux live cd boot the comp off of that with a portable hard drive attatched and move files.

        if you cant get that to work remove hard drive and connect it to a mac/linux (or last option) pc and see if you can read it.

                not surprised at all.

                my work just dropped 30k on MSDS (meterial safty data sheet) pro server. B4 i installed it I called the IT guy at the company (this is a company that ONLY MAKES THIS SOFTWARE). i asked him what backend the database ran off of and what the web server ran off of and he couldn't even answer me. i was blown away. i mean i could understand if he had too support 50 other products... but no! only 1. and those were just tip of the iceberg questions. freakin idiots.
