You can plug as many hard drives in as you have controllers for. One IDE cable can hold two drives (master and slave, selected by the jumpers on the drives) including hard drives, CD-ROMs, etc. If you just want to get files off of that spare drive, just plug it in place of your CD-ROM (setting it to the slave/master setting of the CD-ROM) and turn your computer on. It should be seen in Windows, then just copy your files over. The only thing that might prevent this is if there is an operating system installed on that drive and it is set to be the active partition, which will mean that it will try to boot from that drive when you turn on the computer. Try it and see how it goes, won't hurt anything otherwise.
