If you are using a router and another PC access the network and slide the data to the other PC thru the network connection.Or, if USB is enabled, use a USB storage device like a 1 gig thumb drive and extract data in parts to another PC, or a usb HDD, or, install a second HDD paralleled and copy C: to C: All possibilities.Or, try another CD rom, you could get lucky.
