Theoretically, yes.
However, this is one of the rare occasions when I'd say that if your
data is at all valuable to you, get a professional, or at least
someone who really knows what they're doing.
And by that, I don't mean PC World!
There are just so many variables - what type of cable? What are the
jumper settings? What security did the old HDD have? What partition
format did it use?
Most machines have both SATA and PATA connections should you should be
OK there, but you can still get yourself in a right old pickle.
So, answer is: Yes, no guarantees, but be careful and take your time!
Incidentally, what is the error and what recovery tools have you tried?
