XP Boot Problems Urgent help needed

[Thedog45]

Hi i was doing a friend a favour by trying to remove some rouge antivirus spyware.

After sorting that out i decided to do some windows updates like sp3 ect and for some reason this failed,fair enough so i restarted and now it wont boot normal or safe mode. it gets to windows loading bar screen the blue screens.

it is a packardbell easynote r1005 laptop and has windows preinstalled with PB recovery program installed also, which i have tryed,all seems to go ok for a bit during recovery and up pops (runtime error 2147024873 automation error 8007007 data error cyclic redundancy check.

Now the thing is this laptop has a lot of coursework & photos on it and i gotta save them

so does anyone know how i can recover windows using a recovery program so i can boot in? Or how i can save all these important files

also i dont got any xp disk but i do have a oem vista disk could i use this to install vista and let it create the windows old folder which i think will save what i need?

Im ready to cry please help
