Computer People

[ABV]

I was hoping somone could help me out with this. I just bought a 120 gb external hard drive. I bought it so that I could put all of my video files, mp3's and pictures on it and have them all in one location. Before I had some at work, some on cd's, some at home, blah blah blah. I also have a bunch of files I want on another hard drive (internal) that was in my old computer. I don't have my old computer anymore, but I kept the hard drive. Can I just plug that one into a different computer and fire it up. I know the hardware will be different and all, but all I want to do is get the files from my old internal hard drive onto my new external hard drive without going through a lot of hassle. Any ideas?
