Power off PC.
Connect the old hdd to your new PC. Power On.
The PC should still boot from your new HDD into Windows as usual.
My Computer > The drive should be in there.
Copy the files you need.

You may need to set your old hard drive to be a slave via a jumper if your bios isn't set to boot to SATA first. Other then that, read the post above mine.
