Can I pull the hard rive out of my old computer and put it in my new computer to get old files off? - blueprint computer desk

A year ago I bought a Sony Vaio laptop and I am very happy with it. But before Sony, I used a computer to me by a family member that is old, an IBM Thinkpad 1997 w / Windows 95 was forwarded to them. Of course, I could not do anything with him, but at least I had the plans, which is my passion to draw, I hope to one day be an architect. When I received the new team, with him playing all the time and had the side of IBM, after about two months after my arrival, the Sony, I decided I have all my drawings on a copy disk that is transmitted through and when I turned around, I always receive two error messages. I went into the manual and do what you say, but I do not get anywhere. Is it possible the old hard drive in my Sony set to examine the files out? How?
