Default can i access an ide internal hd from another pc easily?

Hi there guys!

right - my old pc is fudged - won't start up, sometimes does in safe mode.

sometimes it starts ok, other the hd makes a clicking sound so it seems like the drive is fudged. however it does work sometimes.

the pc is old so i'm going to buy a new laptop. thing is all my music is stuck on the internal ide hard disk (about 20gig)
i've taken it out and would really like to be able to get a lead to access it a bit like a mass storage device eg drive E.

any way to do it. i don't want to try and fit this old drive into my new pc (if i get a desktop) and i know it won't even fit a new laptop.

cheers!

Rob.
