Boot without suppliers disk

[Woodbug]

I have been loaned a disk called UBUNTU for my 'dead' computer and this boots it but it won't access windows or Outlook Express and I need to get to my email info. Can you or anyone else tell me if there is a disk that will boot the computer into Windows?

 

Once I get the info I need out of the machine, it doesn't matter if its a throw-away job, I just need to get it started. I hope you can help, as most of my stuff is backed up onto a second hard-drive and CD's, but not the emails.

 

Thanks, Woodbug
