Hi all, I have a major problem in that my Windows XP partition has suffered a major meltdown and i cannot load up XP in normal mode or safe mode as i am met with the ghastly blue screen of death every time and the computer shuts down.

This is very worrying as i have some very important files i would like to rescue from the bootcamp partition which are on the desktop in XP. I didn't hvae chance to back these files up which i always do with my other work.

Does anyone know if its possible to access files and folders on the desktop of XP via the BOOTCAMP hard drive in OSX. I have been doing searches and even tried installing ubuntu to read the XP drive but no luck.

It seem frustrating as the drive is right there in OSX but i can't seem to access any of the information i want on it!
