most of the new motherboards with a SATA drive connector, also have a DVD or CD or both, so you can use one of these ribbons to connect the old hard drive.
Then you can just move files at your convenience. You might (often not necessary) have to enable the other hard drive in the BIOS setup (the prompt when you first start the PC. But likely it will already be there. Once it installs in the BIOS, windows will automatically mount the drive.

If your old one crashed, chances are that it was the hard drive. The new e-machine has a migration program factory installed and files can be transferred by way of a USB cable, IF, IF the hard drive on the old machine is still running and it will boot up in any mode. The only way the type of connection would matter is if you intended to open the new machine and plug in the old hard drive. BAD IDEA! If the old machine crash was caused by a faulty HD why wouldn’t it crash the new machine?
Better idea if the hard drive is suspect, have a tech or savy friend attempt to download from old HD. There are companies who specialize in recovering lost data but they are super expensive and usually cost much more than the actual value of your old files. Why is it that everybody agrees you should back up everything but few do?
One last thought, if the hard drive from the old puter still runs, buy a 3.5″ usb hard drive enclosure (about $20.00) and the hard drive plugs in (standard ribbon connections) and the external HD connects to your new unit via USB and is recognized as a removable drive (like a flash drive) then you could move files to new unit or keep it attached for additional memory. If the old HD runs, that’s the way to go.
