2) I'm pretty sure I have a boot virus as my hard drive is practically new. I got the blue SoD once before my laptop stopped booting.
3) My objective is to diagnose a boot problem on my PC and hopefully recover some files I need from it.
I have threatened to leave the Gates Plan on numerous occasions. This may be the last straw.
Thanks in advance.

1) Mounting your HDD shouldn't have any affect on your XP files, just make sure you properly unmount it before rebooting (you may get a disk check type thing if you forget to unmount. But, I've forgotten to unmount plenty of times and have had no problems getting into XP afterwards)
2)If you're getting BSOD and boot issue's I'd recommend testing some hardware, IE: memory/harddrive.
3)One of the many beauties of Knoppix is if you can mount the device and access the files, you can recover what you need
