Tomboy is an unknown quantity at this point
Just a few comments:

I am pretty certain that WPA.DBL/.BAK are not locked or hidden, so you can just copy them to a floppy diskette. These files should be located in the C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 subdirectory (mine are). You may have to reconfigure windows explorer to let you see system files before they will show up.

The program you need to see a NTFS partition from DOS is NTFSDOS Pro. The read only (free) version should allow you to see and copy files from the NTFS partition to a floppy diskette.

Finally, as adams_73533 said, if your hardware has not changed reactivation over the web should work fine as many times as you want. Microsoft doesn't start getting picky or concerned until significant new hardware shows up in the hashes that your system sends to them.

I hope this helps,

Tomboy
