Can files saved on disk be accessed by hard-drive?

Answer

Files downloaded to a hard drive remain on the hard drive of that computer, even if they are subsequently loaded on a cd or floppy disc. If that disc or floppy is opened using a separate computer, the information on the disc is read without involving the hard drive of the computer. No information from the disc is placed on the hard drive of the second computer unless saved to it.

Answer

yes.

you need some sort of interface, called an operating system to arbitrate the exchange of information. ex in dos: copy a:/<filename> c:/<filename>
