You don't have to do that. Try NTFS reader. It boots from a floppy and
you can manage files as if you were in DOS. I think it's called NTFS
DOS. You should be able to Google it and find it.

I'm not familiar with that. Do you have any more information about where to get it and how to do this with it?

I have a problem with an HP system that is stretching my resources. The operating system is corrupt (XP Home). The owner has no recovery disk (not suplied with the system). The hard drive has 2 partitions, FAT32 containing the corrupt recovery system, and NTFS containing the corrupt operating system along with all the owner's data.
The only option left appears to be to find a way to read the NTFS partition data onto another drive and then re-partition and set up the system with a new operating system.
Does anyone know of a utility that will boot the system and allow NTFS data to be read and copied?
