You need a video recorder program. The SC-D23 is a MiniDV tape camcorder, not a hard drive based camcorder. So you can't just drag-and-drop, it doesn't show up as a drive.
And you must use the Firewire cable. The USB connection is only good for transferring from the memory card.
Windows Movie Maker is free and can transfer from a Firewire drive like this one. If you don't have it already, download WMM from Microsoft's website. The Help files should tell you all you need to know, if you need to know more about using WMM you can come back here and post in the appropriate area.
Whatever video recording program you use, it will run the camcorder as if it were a VCR that you were recording from.
BTW, it is very important that the camcorder be turned OFF when you plug in the Firewire cables. Turn it on only AFTER it is connected to the computer. Otherwise you may destroy the Firewire port on the camcorder.
