With the drive attached, go to Start/Search and type diskmgmt.msc Right click the diskmgmt.msc icon in the Search Results and Run As Administrator. In Disk Management do you see your old HDD there? does it say that the file system is Unallocated Space? Meaning the file system is corrupted and the data is lost.
