I would avoid doing it that way. However, you can put it in a USB drive enclosure (available at any office or computer store) and then access all the data as an external drive. The nice thing about this is you can move your data (documents, pictures, video, etc) to your new computer and then once you are sure you have all your data, you can then clear the drive and use it as a external/USB drive.
I have several drive from old laptops that I do that with.
