Boot up shows PBR2 error (I think that's what it says) so we found the boot disk but all it wants to do is run diagnostics. I can't seem to exit the tests now that I've gotten there. I'd just like to reach DOS or Safe Mode to get the files and export them to an external drive.

The unit is a Dell Inspirion running Windows XP Profeesional. I don't think I have a lot of time because the hard drive is making bad noises like the arm is constantly hitting the case.
