I think this is what I would (at least try to) do. You may
want to make sure the jumpers on the back of the hard
drives are set correctly. I've had issues with read/write
permissions from drives I've brought in from other
computers whose jumpers weren't set correctly for the
target computer.
What Jim said should work, though.
