You could probably plug the hard drive into an external USB caddy and connect it to a working computer to seek out the backup files. What they are called and where exactly they are located are beyond me.

Google is your friend!

They're all here
C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

Use the dates to figure out which is which...

Good luck

iTunes should recognize them if they're moved

Easiest solution is to grab that Apple directory i mentioned and place it into a new user account on another computer.

Then copy over your My Music directory to the same new account on the other computer that way all your apps and music is there when it restores from backup..

in iTunes you will need to also authorize the account and new computer before the sync. Store -> Authorize this computer.

Try that, just don't delete anything off your old hard drive and you'll have that backup to try again if something goes awry with your new or temp setup.
