Pass the disk through to a VMWare/KVM/Xen container (if you can find another machine of the same processor architecture) and then boot the OS in the VM.

Usually it will piss Windows right off to be booted on completely different hardware, but usually it works enough to grab any files you may want from within the FDE.

It's utterly useless if the FDE was using any TPM hardware though, in that case then I'm afraid you're stuck using the original hardware.
