Recently my secondary harddisk which contains my recent photos crashed :-(

There goes all the photos, but I could still access the 1:1 high quality thumbnails that I have generated in LR 2.5. What I know is that the thumbnails are located on C:\Documents and Settings\Ryan\My Documents\My Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom 2 Catalog Previews.lrdata\, anyone has any idea how I can retrieve the photos from the thumbnails?

Hope to get some advice... :(

Welcome to Lightroom Forums!

The solution to your sad problem is LRViewer.

Extracted from the how to use:
You can export JPEGs with the File-Export JPEGs command. JPEGs are at the highest resolution available as a preview, and are at the same quality as the preview. LRViewer adds EXIF metadata and includes the XMP information as stored in the Lightroom catalog. The files are named as they are in the Lightroom database, with an extension of "jpg".
