If it is badly corrupted, the best bet is one of the proprietary Windows recovery tools, or a service that does same. If it just won't boot, it may be the file system and disk are fine, and that software just messed up. Then one can boot in anything that can read NTFS, which would include Ubuntu Live CDs. I've done the Ubuntu live CD, and copy to an external USB drive before, it is pretty much drag and drop.
