Default Laptop disk disaster

My daughter has a problem with her laptop which holds all her exam course
work.
I have removed the HDD (Hitachi TravelStar HTS424040msat00) and bought a 2.5
to 3.5 ATA to IDE convertor and put the TravelStar (NTFS type disk) in an
old HP Vectra running W98. This has a CD so I removed the CD IDE Cable and
put the convertor on it and attached the power. On bootup the BIOS shows
the new laptop hard drive as Secondary Master and shows its model type but
Windows98 can't see it. What must I do to get her course work off the old
disk and onto somewhere where it can be printed.

Many thanks,

Neal T
