Could you not put another drive(or take the offending one out) and use a working pc. This way you would be able to browse the disk and copy whatever files etc you require

I bought a 120GB Maxtor earlier today with the plan to connect this to the standard ATA connections on the Motherboard. Talked to my eers IT guys as well, seems to be the best plan of action.
