Why not put in the OS Disc in and boot to that (most are bootable). Then go into a command prompt....From there you can see if your files are still there (if you know DOS commands), or just re-install the OS...without a format. This will keep non-OS files intact as long as you dont format the drive. I dont recommend to continue using this, because it will make the OS unstable usually. But if it works enough to recover and burn or move the wanted files elsewhere it will be a momentary fix to recover the files. After recovery of the files....Format that thing and do a full CLEAN install of the OS.
