Files/data recovery from crashed computer [URGENT]

I have a Windows 2000 PC, but it got crashed due to OS errors.  I have tried, tried, and tried, but it seems impossible to fix the PC.   Luckly, all of my files/data are in D:\ drive (which is another hard drive I have besides C:\).  How do I get the files/data from D:\ and paste them onto a working PC.  

First step will be 'open the PC and take the D:\ out of it'.
and then, what are the next steps?

>> After this is done, you need to reinstall Windows 2000.

Reinstall of Winows 2000 is impossible.  The PC is REALLY gone badly.

>> Attach the D: Drive to the new system as a slave drive and you will see it listed in "My Computer".

How do I connect D:\ to the new PC (OptiPlex GX620 MT wit Windows XP)?

I am still working on it.
I added the drive as E:
but, it shows as 'RAW (file system) and says 'Access is denied' when I click on the drive.  How do you correct this?  The disk (E:) has ~ 25 GB data on it.
try recovery soft :
