Remove the ribbon cable from your cd drive and put it on the old hard drive, put the jumper pin on the old hard drive to the slave position, put the power connection to the drive, then the system will boot with your sata drive normally. You can just let the old drive hang out of harms way.
Under windows explorer you should be able to copy/paste your data.
