You can use the Microsoft explorer program to view directories, subdirectories and files that you have security access to view. Their are also file manager and file viewer utilities such as midnight commander that work similarly to explorer but have added capabilities including the ability to view two sets of files or directories at the same time. Some even allow selecting and comparing two files or two directories to see how two files with the same name are different.

You can also use the command prompt to list and look at files and directories.

Not necessarily. If it's a USB hard drive, it should work with most XP/Vista/7 machines; assuming that it was formatted on a Windows machine to begin with. If it was used on a Linux or Mac machine, you may not be able to read the contents because of the file system.
