e-Machine stuck in continual loop



I have a T-2042 eMachine that was pre-loaded with Windows XP Home Edition.
So I do not have a Windows XP installation CD. I have tried to boot to
Windows XP, but it just continually loops restarting over and over. I have
tried to go into safe mode and it won't let me enter safe mode of any kind,
nor will it allow me to enter windows using the last know good configuration.
I am trying to find a way to gain access somehow to be able to pull off
some recent docs that were not backed up yet. I only have the restore CDs
that came with the pc, and I am trying to avoid wiping out my HDD at least
until I can get the docs. Does anyone have any suggestions for doing
this???? Thanks!
