Hi :)
If a machine appears to be dead then often you can still use it by booting
up a "LiveCd session" of a Gnu&Linux distro.  Here is a guide for Ubuntu 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD
but the rest all work pretty much the same way too.  

Often the LiveCd is the same as the installer Cd.  The Ubuntu ones often
need you to click on the install button at the main first choice but then
press the back button to get back to the choice and choose "Try it" instead. 
Otherwise the machine seems to hang for me.

Once you are in a LiveCd session you can use the "Places" menu on the
top-taskbar to find files on your hard-drive or to access the network or
other storage devices.  Firefox tends to automatically find your internet
connection.  A 'dead' Windows is an opportunity to try out something more
interesting in order to recover data or fix the system.  
Regards from
Tom :)
