Exploring another hard drive with a boot-able OS

Feb 18, 2011 6:34AM PST

Hi,

I recently swapped out my C drive. I pulled out a 500GB HD and replaced it with a 1.5 TB. I did a clean install on the new drive with Windows 7. The old drive still has the old installation of windows 7 also.

I need some data of the first drive. About 10 mb. Is there a way I can recover the data or explore the disk? I have sata and power inputs off the back of my computer and can hook it up.

Any help would be great
