You basically need to do two things :
1. Boot from a reliable media - could be pxe, knoppix, zipslack
anything as long as it is not from the corrupt hard disk.
2. Ensure sufficient disk space is available to the OS once you have
booted from something. This could be a CDR, DVDR, local hard disk, USB
drive, NFS mount, FTP server, another linux box with SSH on it.
The choice is yours to make depending on what you have easily available
at your end.
