Hi
I suggest a Large Capacity USB stick.
Perhaps start in Safe Mode

Then try the XCOPY command to copy of the relevant files...EG:
xcopy C:\Files E:\Files /i
In the above example, the files contained in the source directory of C:\Files are copied to destination, a new directory [/i] on the E drive called Files.
No subdirectories, nor any files contained within them, will be copied because the /s option was not used.
xcopy "C:\Important Files" D:\Backup /c /d /e /h /i /k /q /r /s /x /y
If indoubt please ask.
