I've installed drives with OSs as secondary, tertiary drives in a Win XP PC, and haven't had any problems with the system trying to boot from any other drive than C:

Assuming Win 7 behaviour to be the same as XP, you should be fine.

For the £10 or so that it costs for a caddy, you could take the HDD from the old machine, place in a USB caddy, connect to new machine and make a backup on the primary drive in the new machine, copying over USB. That way you're safe if there's a mishap when installing the old drive as secondary drive in the new machine.

Thanks for your input too
Good point about the backing up, I think i'l chance it and touch wood all will be ok
