I suppose you never made a boot diskette.  Or maybe you did and
forgot?  Use that, if you have it.

Alternatively, if you are not worried about the OS install and are
just worried about your files, you could install a Linux onto another
hard drive, connect that as a slave, and copy the files off.

Another great idea (if you have a CD burner) is to boot up with a
Knoppix CD.  This will give you a live Linux environment, and you can
use the great CD burning software to back up your files.
