If that hard disk have virus it can be harmful to your HDD So first check the disk with antivirus then transfer the data.
if you do not want data trans fur you want only check the detection of the HDD, you can. But if you trans fur the data from one to another it may be harm full.

You don't need to connect the hard disk to the inside of your computer, just get a USB to IDE adapter. It is an external device that let you connect the hard drive to the computer's USB port without opening your computer. It cost about $5 to $10 at most electronic stores. If you power up the hard drive (make sure jumper is set to master) and your computer is reading the disk, then it should be okay. If you're worrying about viruses, the scan the hard disk with an anti-virus software. Most viruses are files that can only cause damage if you open them. So, if you want to be safe, scan all the files before you open them.

Definetly Yes!
There is 200% chance of your system catching virus.Hard disk is both readable and writable a powerful virus can easily intrudes even without opening it.
This is not the case with CD/DVD because these are READONLY unless you open/copy the file containing virus your system will not be affected
