My problem is this: just before Christmas my one and only computer with Windows XP stopped recognizing both the keyboard & mouse once it started Windows, which otherwise was working normally (but it really shouldn't have announced it had found a 86-key keyboard!). All rescue attempts failed.

I've got a new computer ordered, so it has been suggested that I mount the old hard disk in it as an extra disk. In that way I could save the registered programs and my data. But I've never done this; is there anything I must observe?
