Hi Khatton,
If you connect your hard drive to another PC and use the drive as a secondary drive, that means the computer will boot the OS from its primary drive. Your drive should appear in Disk Management and in My Computer as it is, without any need to make changes. If the drive is not listed in My Computer, search for it in Disk Management. You may need to assign it a letter. You can do it, right clicking the drive. This should not affect your data. Do no try to initialize, partition or format the drive.
Hope this helps
