SirDice is spot on (unfortunately) that is why I suggested you enlist the aid of a competent hardware techician.

They should be able to advise you if it is possible, and they have the work environment and equipment to do it properly. I have only ever done it two or three times, although I have a 100% track record with those.

I think that older drives are more likely to be amenable to the technique as their boards tend to be less complex. And, as they were expensive in their day, they probably have more "repairability by design" built into them.

Most modern stuff is designed to be totally disposable

Incidentally:

1. Does your BIOS/Windows recognise the drive when yo attach it to the other machine?
2. What is the make/model/capacity of the defective drive?
