Your best bet is to try to get a live CD that is KDE oriented - there are a 
few around, often on magazine covers, or your could download something like 
Mandriva One, which is KDE-based.  Assuming that your USB hard drive is 
recognised (and if it's plugged in when you boot I would expect it to be) it 
should then be possible.

Your organizer calendar is a standard ics file, so if you have any windows 
application that can handle ics format you should be able to open it with that 
- again, assuming that your USB hard drive isn't linux formatted.  The file in 
question will be  /home/yourname/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics
