As Groove says, you should be able to boot on a CD and if you start in
'DOS' (either via the CD or via the F8 key just after booting, to get
the startup menu) you should be able to copy the docs off before
blitzing them with a new Install. Type Copy /? to get the different copy
options (there's a space before the /) and don't forget that long files
names have to be between inverted commas, so you could use something
like: Copy *.* c:\"documents and settings"\username\"mydocuments" d:
for instance.
For this job XCOPY is a much more flexible and powerful
command line alternative to COPY.
C:\>XCOPY /?
to get an idea of the wide range of parameters it allows.
Is there a list of all these XP command prompts anywhere?
