you are lucky that drive is SATA you can simply connect it to your sata port and connect sata power to check its content

Hi all, Im setting up a new windows 8 rig with an SSD hard drive. I recently found my old Raptor X that has windows XP installed on it. Is there any way I can look around my old hard drive and see if there are any files I want, back them up and then wipe the drive and include it into my new rig?
