Thanks to anyone for your answers.
1. The only way I can transfer my harddrive to another computer is if it has the same Mobo,Ram,CPU,GPU otherwise it wont recognize the components and it wont function correctly, correct?
2. If I were to connect a used hardrive with data saved(HD2) on it to another working computer with the Lshaped connection, the pc would boot up normally with the first harddrive(HD1) and then I could probably transfer some of my files from the HD2 to HD1, correct?
3. At the same time I could make the pc boot up with HD2 in the BIOS and have a whole separate set up (OS, games, maybe if HD1 had a virus then HD2 could be virus free?), correct?

Hey thanks for the speedy answer. If it isn't too much trouble could you explain why 1 is false. Also for number 2, would it work even if HD2 had an OS installed in it? Thanks in advance for any response.
