Windows won't boot, so how do I copy important data onto my USB HD???

Hello all
My Windows 2000 freezes constantly. I would like to format the HD's BUT first off, I want to save my precious 20000+ mp3s that I've accumulated over the past 10 years. I want to move them from my C: drive to my removable USB HD. The problem is, I cannot log into Windows at all.
I've tried using Linux Live CD's, but they do not support NTFS, meaning my computer will run perfectly fine using Linux OS's BUT I cannot move or copy files from one HD to another (Read Only attributes)...
I am looking for a prog that can run through floppy or cd rom at startup that will allow me to move about 60 GB of data from my C: to my USB drive, so that I can eventually reformat everything...
any suggestions???
