drive crashed.How can I test it? the hard drive crashed.What's a safe way to hook it up and
test it ? Can I unplug my working existing computer and plug
in this one ?
 
I would unplug the hard drive from the pc you just got and plug it into your pc and check (but leave your hard drive plugged in as the new hard drive is not set to boot your pc)

just a question did you try to run it in dos to see if the pc will find/run it?
 
Careful. I don't recommend doing that. Your best bet is to take it to a computer store and they can diagnose it to see if it is salvagable.
 
Yes. If an error appear that said "No system drive found" when you start the PC. It means the hard drive is spoiled.
