I guess it depends how old it is and whether or not its compatable with the system and chipset that you have. It should be possible, unless its damaged internally and won't be recognized by the computer even if you have all the settings right. You should definately check with a propper electronics specialist though, I'm not even close. I hope this helps though.

you gotta find out if the data is even in it still if thats what you need... take it to a data recovery place and they'll check for you...also if all you need is a extra hard drive just get a new one

good hard drives... are cheap... don't waste your time putting a blown one in the mix. I don't mess with marginal memory... RAM or HARD-DRIVES.
