EEK! Trying to recover files from a "corrupt hard drive."

I'll come back with more information on the error that occurred but what I'd like to know with all these circumstances:

My computer will not boot to desktop. (Big deal.)

On first boot up it goes to blue screen saying the Hard Drive may be corrupt.

It started this after I installed something with Roxio(6?) on my computer.

It does not recognize the Windows Vista disk and does not mention it at all in the recovery process.

I can get to a screen that has many recovery options but none of which can successfully recover the computer without going to the blue screen as mentioned before that says the hard drive is corrupt.

The computer allows me to send the error to microsoft yet it will never complete the actual process of sending.

None of the cords were changed around since the computer has been obtained.

There have been no previous problems with the computer until the DISK DRIVE would not be seen by Windows Media Player or Roxio.

After a hassle and an reinstallation of Roxio (and a bit of work to make windows media player recognize it.) the computer quickly thereafter started acting ill. (Strange)

After all of this I was wondering since I can still get to login to recovery if there's a way to recover the files using another computer's harddrive as the primary harddrive and just simply dragging and dropping or searching for the files on the corrupted hard drive or if the corrupted hard drive is impossible to read based on the error.

(I know it's hard to answer with no exact error codes. I'm working on it.)
