Hello @AbrahamH16! Welcome to the Community.
Depending on the condition the old drive is in, you might be able to recover the data. We offer data recovery services at our in-store service desks so if you'd like us to take a look, you're always welcome to. If you want to try it yourself, you could be a hard drive enclosure and hook it up to another computer and see if the drive will display and allow you to access the data.
