Windows 10: Is it possible to open the registry stored on an old hard drive?

I still haven't given up hope of opening Corel Photo Shop 4.0 and running it on Windows 10Especially since a companion program from the same setup disk works on the new computer.I've developed the theory that there are keys I hope that's the right term that Corel needs in the Win 7 Registry that can be copied and pasted onto win10's registry that point to a missing .dll file that I've identified. The old computer was scrapped and recycled except for the still-working hard drive.The problem becomes opening the registry off of an old but still working hard drive that's been turned into a usb d

Stored files in Hard Drive

I'd like to know if there's a way of listing all the files stored in my hardware and arrange them by size, because I want to keep track of what's on my hard drive. Thanks, I hope you answer.

 

new system old hard drive...

I have an old hard drive that has those old ribbon connections to transfer data to the mother board.

I have a new computer that mostly uses those cool little ATA (I think that is what they are called) connections.

The new computer has a Vista OS.

I opened up the case and I was supprised to see on the motherboard a wide ribbon connection and so I connected the old hard drive and a free power connection.

When I turned on the computer, the system started up like usual and did not notice the new hard drive.

I went to the Control Pannel and did an automatic add hard drive call and it did not find the old hard drive.

Any suggestions?

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Plug USB hard drive into old computer.
• Open File Explorer (Win+E) and open the USB drive.
• Open another File Explorer window and open your documents folder.
• Drag files to the USB drive.
• Move drive to new computer.
• Drag files to their new homes in the matching documents/pictures/videos/whatever folders you use to organize.
