Either attach the drive as a slave in a working XP box and take
ownership of the files or boot with Knoppix or a Bart's PE and copy the
files that way. Here is information how to do both options:

For Knoppix, you will need a computer with two cd drives, one of which
is a cd/dvd-rw OR a usb thumb drive with enough capacity to hold your
data OR an external usb/firewire hard drive formatted FAT32 (not NTFS).
To get Knoppix, you need a computer with a fast Internet connection and
third-party burning software. Download the Knoppix .iso and create your
bootable cd. Then boot with it and it will be able to see the Windows
files. If you are using the usb thumb drive or the external hard drive,
right-click on its icon (on the Desktop) to get its properties and
uncheck the box that says "Read Only". Then click on it to open it.
Note that the default mouse action in the window manager used by
Knoppix (KDE) is a single click to open instead of the traditional MS
Windows' double-click. Otherwise, use the K3b burning program to burn
the files to cd/dvd-r's.
