Ultimate Boot CD has bootable AV scanners and bootable linux distros that should allow you to be able to copy stuff off.

have you tried booting in safe mode & running anti-malware/virus programs? Can you boot into safe mode?

You can try [Windows Key] + E

Also, you can boot off the CD and go into the recovery console and use robocopy or xcopy (can't remember which one, or if both, are available here) and copy what you need to another drive.
