You could try booting to a Ubuntu (or EMC2) live CD and either copy data to a flash drive, or copy it over the network to another machine using netcat. There are plenty of pages on the Internet describing how to do this with netcat. Here's one http://www.g-loaded.eu/2006/11/06/netcat-a-couple-of-useful-examples/ I personally like using tar at the front end to combine and compress files.
