assuming your "newer mdg computer" didnt die because of harddrive failure, you MIGHT be able to hook it up to your older HP pc. the new HDD may be SATA and not IDE, which means it wont work on the older pc, which if old enough, may be IDE only.

IDE


SATA


if both happen to be SATA, then just hook them both up, and set the HDD from your mdg computer to be "slave"
