You could possibly find by other means, but no one on this site is going to recommend those links to you as they are pirated.

Thank you to you all! I will purchase it.

But you can read the files even if the system doesn't boot. Just use a boot CD with linux or windows.
The CD's you intended to buy will only help you REINSTALL the system, not retrieve the files (you may even risk overwriting it)

Anytime...Glad I could help.

Kimputer, thank you for your comment, I was afraid of the risk overwriting the files I intend to migrate. The files are word documents stored in the server. Let me test my understanding: you are indicating that I with a windows boot CD, I can extract all the files I need. How do I get a Windows boot CD?

Kimputer

Any boot CD will do, or any created during the recovery media creation on a PC (as long as it's newer than Win2003, i.e. Win7/8/10).
Easiest would be a Ubuntu Live CD, if you can't find a Windows CD.

If the server has a RAID array then whatever you use to access the files you're after will need driver support for the RAID controller.

Scott C

So if you are familiar with Ubuntu and installing RAID drivers then you should be fine, otherwise, stick with what you know. You don't want to accidentally lose data.

If it doesn't have a RAID array I like Knoppix. Been using it for years.

Scott, thank you. You are right I don't want to accidentally loose data.
