I may be wrong but, your old HD won't work with the new computer. The new Mobo and old HD cant talk to each other. You might be able to retrieve some information but as far as making it an active part of the comp, it has to be formatted under the settings of the new Mobo

exactly, folders like documents and settings are bound to your other MOBO, so you won't be able to open those.

If your old comp's Mobo is DOA, then unfortunately, you are staring down the Lost Information Highway.

If the old comp is still in good shape, backup your info to disk, or establish a network connection to the new comp

Once you install the old HD to the new comp, you're gonna have to format the HD so it will accept information from the new comp

Hope this helped
