Hi The only way I could possibly suggest would be to try and boot from cd using your bootloader. However, this will probably involve installing a new bootloader with the capability to boot from cd and configuring it appropriately. This should in principle all be possible from within windows, but I expect it would be difficult. Also, if you mess it up you could end up not able to boot. You're probably best waiting for someone sighted with access to a screen.
