Where do you want to install Windows: used to show 1 partition; now shows 2: Disk 0 Partition 1 : System Reserved 100 MB total; & Disk 0 Partition 2 931 GB – busy for 17 minutes

Also it's not the drivers for the hard drive, it's the drivers for the controller. That driver would be provided by the mainboard vendor or the chipset manufacturer. For instance, Nvidia in some caes, or LSI logic.
Edit:
And yes, do as Redbeard mentioned and hook that drive up to a host machine and get your data off.
