Once this is done, go into the BIOS and make sure that the drive is being found, and then if it doesnt show up in My Computer, you'll have to go to Computer Management (Control Panel->Administrative Settings) and assign it a Drive letter...
After you've done this you should be able to copy all the stuff off without issue :)
