Hi there Adarsh sangam,

I guess you can try that. Though, it may not work. You will just get a blue screen and this should do no harm.
Another thing you can do is to just get a SATA to USB cable and attach your HDD externally. After that you can just access the files you want and back them up.

Cheers,
