You can try adding the free read/copy-only drivers from the following link
to a DOS 9win98) boot disk:

However, if you want to both read and write, then you need their not-free
drivers.

Alternatively, make a Bart's bootable CD, or use KNOPPIX, a free LINUX that
runs from CD. Both can access NTFS partitions. (KNOPPIX 4.xx is also
available as a free bootable DVD imae, with a lot of software.)

Finally, you can run the XP recovey console, directly from the XP CD, or via
a multi-floppy set downloadable free from Microsoft. However, the recovery
console is inferior to Barts and KNOPPIX for most operations. And, it is
sometimes fussy about having the correct administrator password for the PC
(not any administrator, but THE administrator).
