Since you're saying it's an old hard drive, I'm guessing it's an IDE hd.
As long as you have a secondary 40 pin connector, you should be able to just plug it in.
If you don't and just want to get info off the drive, then set it to slave, unplug your cd-rom and plug in your hd.
Remember though, you will not have use of your cd-rom until you reconnect it.

Note: If you have problems booting, go into your bios and set you orginal hd as the fist boot device.
