I see nothing wrong with the Boot.ini file. There is a way to get your
files from your computer. You can take the hard drive out of the old
machine and hook it up to the new machine as a slave drive. Then copy
your files from the old hard drive to the new hard drive within your new
computer.

If you cannot do this yourself, maybe you know a friend that can hook
the old drive to the new machine as a second drive to get your data.

If you choose to do this, you might get "access denied" messages when
trying to access your old hard drive. This is easy to overcome by taking
ownership of the files or folders.
