One way to retrieve your ipod library would be to get an external USB hard drive enclosure and put the Hard Drive from your old system in it. After doing this, connect it to your laptop via the USB port and access the directory where your music is stored and pull it to your laptop HDD (It will be a secondary drive on your laptop so it does not need to have a working OS on it to be viewed, that is assuming that the crash didnt stem from a hardware failure of the drive itself.)

Well, either your performing an 'illegal operation', which is causing your computer to crash, or, you overloading the system by trying to transfer massive amounts of data. Try putting your the folder containing all your music, on your ipod as a data file, (make sure you ipod is enabled for disk use - you can do this by accessing your ipod options in iTunes), then you can simply plug in your ipod to the other computer, and drag the folder containing your music onto the desktop.

Just move one song at a time. It takes ages, but you can be doing other stuff while you wait, like read or... sketch... or smoke/drink/eat/tidy your computer station... etc.
