Win ME Crashed After Removing Nero

I just realized that when I replaced my cd burner with a dvd burner that my Nero 5.0 would not work with a different drive. I uninstalled the Nero from my C: drive and tried installing a different version on D: drive. Big mistake. Lots of Kernell Faults and could not get restore to work after reinstalling Win ME as it would not allow me to save my old O/S. I tried to install XP Home upgrade but it didn't see that there was already an operating system on my computer. Is there anything I can do to get this upgrade to work without a complete wipe of my hard drive. My Win Me does not even finish booting in safe mode. I tried disabling everything in msconfig before i lost safe mode then I got a Kernell Fault is msconfig. I know a clean install would be best but I have a couple things that are not backed up I don't want to lose.

Can you take the drive out, and slave it into another system to do your file backup? IMO, this would be the best way, then wipe it clean.
