I have two partitions, 1st one installed was Windows XP, 2nd installed is windows 2000 (personal reasons for installing it). Well now my XP cant boot up, "corrupt or missing NTOSKRNL" (i tried replacing it, editing boot.ini, etc still wont boot up).

So now i'm want to fresh install XP again to replace over original XP. I want to be able SAVE my "MY documents/files" etc, but I cant access it because it was password protected making those files inaccessible unless i'm logged in my XP account into that USER NAME.

I cant make it boot up, so is there any options in savaging the files...
