Ed,
Easier than transfer or messing around with a slave drive would be a USB external
HDD enclosure. Approx $50.00, easy to connect and disconnect, plus no worries about
the Operating system on the old HDD messing up your new system, possibly voiding
the warranty. Though the files will still be available should you need them.
Once you salvage what you need you can format the External and use it for Storage/Backup.
Best use of an old HDD I've seen.
Now, can Vista use what's on the HDD?? I have no idea and no intention of finding
out.
Sorry to hear that you invested in Uncle Bill's latest consumer ripoff.
