If you have access to another working XP machine, look into Bart's PE. Great utility that creates a mini Windows environment. You can then copy files from the internal to external drive using the bootable CD.

Hello,.
I currently have a computer that will not properly boot, so I was
wondering if there was a way to move all the files from my current hard
drive to an external hard drive, then format the hard drive on the
computer and reload the files I know are "clean" or would my only
option be to buy a new hard drive, install windows xp on it, and then
move the files from the old hard drive to the new one?
Thanks.

PS I have a 160gb maxtor external hard drive and a 160gb hard drive in
my Dell Dimension 8400. I can also boot to the recovery console, but
safe mode is quite difficult to access and I'm not 100% if I can even
access it anymore. If you have any other questions just ask.
