Sheila,
You will need to copy the backup data file, the one with an extension of <filename>.gnucash with no time stamps to your new hard drive. Here <filename> will be the name of your data file. Start up GnuCash and use the menu File->Open dialogue then navigate with it to where the copy of the backup file is located on your new hard disk, select the file in the dialogue and then click th eOpen button at the bottom and your data file should open up, If it doesn't come back to the list and tell us what is happening when you try the above.
