Yes.. set it up as a slave off the hard drive in the Athlon 64 system to retrieve info on it by using the black jumpers. You will not be able to boot from it . The chipsets are probably different and when your OS boots it looks for certain motherboard hardware.

You can connect the disk as indicated, providing the Athlon 64 has a PATA (parallel) connector and not just SATA (Serial) connectors (small plugs). Alternative, is to buy an external disk enclosure with USB connections.
Booting third answer - it might do with numerous re-boots on finding new hardware, if you are lucky.

Gregory is right that you will have to slave it in an AMD system. The chipsets of the motherboards are totally different and there is no way that harddrive will boot with the new motherboard.

Hey,
The other guy is wrong, you can boot from it if you want to. Just put it in as the master drive and you'll be able to boot from it. Make sure the other HDD is not hooked up otherwise both HDD's will tell the computer that they are the one that needs to boot and it'll be a fight to the death and neither will boot. If you don't want to boot from it and just want the files, you can put it as the slave drive via the block jumpers and you can take ownership of the files extract them.
Regards,
Brandon
