Can old laptop hard drive appear as 2nd drive on new lapop?

My old WinXP (Toshiba) laptop, which I really like better than the new Win7 Dell, has a few poblems. It's 9 years old, and I think the screen has gone out. The computer works on an extenal vga monitor...

I can see a problem with running a old program on a new computer. Many times the new computer can not run the old applications. Sort of a way to sell you upgraded and updated software!

Usually the company that wrote the software for say Win98 will not 'upgrade' to the latest program, but require a new program. If the new program can access the old data from the old program, consider yourself lucky. Many times you might have to put all the data back in.

Good luck!
