Computer messed up...How to get files off and put onto another without using WIndows???

my pc messed up, and i repaired it with windows xp pro disc (no product key) and i can't get into windows. Is there a way to get the pictures and info off the hard drive and put onto another hard drive, such as taking the hard drive out and putting into a working windows based system (like have 2 hard drives) and then take the info off that one and burn it????will this work, or is there another way? I have tried many keys to make windows work on 1st pc, none work. I don't want to lose everything. Precious memories on the computer. Thanks.

You can remove the hard drive and stick it in another PC and copy the files off. Make sure you set the pin in the back to 'slave' if necessary and check the BIOS of the machine your putting the drive into to make sure that slot is enabled.

yeah this is a kinda tricky situation but here goes you will need two hard drives for this lets call the hard drive that has the data on it HD1 and the other one HD2 first take HD1 out of your computer completely and then place HD2 in their(on HD2 you will need to either have windows intstalled on it already or get it installed) now boot up your computer once everthing is up, shut down your computer and completely unhook your power to it
