I assume you are now using the new hard drive, have you tried to slave your old
one to the new one and see if you can access anything on it?   I'm only
guessing, but the old drive may possibly have a boot sector virus.  If you don't
have to boot from it, you may be able to access the data from it.  There are
programs like Ghost available from Norton that can copy all your data from one
disk to another and I believe it works in DOS mode.  But be careful in case that
old drive has an infection.
