RE: Rescue documents using Repair disk and command prompt

Have you tried saving them to a USB Flash Drive/Memory Stick?
Right-click on the files>Send To

If that won't work, make a Bootable Live CD from the ISO file you can
download from the above link.
Reboot with it. It does not install on your Hard Drive, but will read it,
and will allow you to copy your Data to a Flash Drive, once you remove the
read only permissions on the FD.
