Is it a SATA/SATA II drive?

If yes - just connect it to your new computer. SATA II is great (6GB/s) but really SATA (3GB/s) works fine.

If no - get an external PATA enclosure, put drive in there, connect to new computer, and let it run overnight copying files. Bonus is now you have a backup external drive of your data.
