Is there something better for recovering data from a pc which has become unbootable. I would like a program that has support for memory stick as well.

NTFSDOS is not a data recovery program, it simply allows access to NTFS from FAT, it will not recover data from a corrupted NTFS partition.
Use XP's recovery methods for an unbootable system, boot with the CD, R for recovery fixmbr and fixboot.

All I want is something that will copy files off a NTFS disc. I have done this with NTFSDOS but it can only copy to a flopy so is rather limited. In this particular I didnt know the administrator password so was unable to run fixboot and fixmbr. Not my computer and owner didnt know. Must be a program out there that Will boot from cd load usb memory stick drivers and then enable mme to brouse the hard drive and copy files to the memory stick.

Try Bart's "PE Builder". Makes a bootable CD with 100's of add-in programs available. It's based on XP (minimum). Do a google search. And make sure you include the small Nero software to copy files to anything attached.
