What version of Windows?
The boot drive is typically C: so what's on D: ?
Why do you say the hard drive is fried? Do you get an error message when trying to boot "normally" from the hard drive?
Reboot and immediately press F12. Look for option to run the diagnostics, including extended hard drive tests. Copy down error messages, if any.
