Rene,
You do not need a boot up disk and the fact that the hard drive has info on it does not matter. Am wondering if the hard drive is actually working or not and did it get fried in the old computer?
Do you have a computer repair store around? Might be worth taking it to them to see if they can get it to show up. If so they might charge you a small fee to burn the data onto a CD and then toss the old drive. With new units around for $50 or so for a 200 gig HD, its not worth saving after the data is recovered.
Joe
