You will need to boot the office computer with a live Mint USB drive.

If you want to use it as just data storage, you can format it as NTFS, that way both linux and Windows can read/write to the drive.

Linux can read most file systems used by Windows. Just copy the data to another drive formatted to NTFS or FAT32. All of my data disks are formatted to NTFS and I have never had a problem reading or writing them with Linux.
Linux will format a disk to almost any file system using gparted.
