I have a new computer (kind of) and I want some of my programs and music from my old hard drive on my new pc. How do I connect the old hard drive to the new pc without making it the primary hard drive?

You have to move some pins on the back of the hard drive you're installing I think.

Any computer/harddisk manual should have that information. Found this article for a better explanation:
