is my HD safe to use?

[bill4588]

I spilled juice on my Macboook last week and I ended up having to get a new one the other night The logic board, heat sink, and airport card were ruined (and the cost of repair would have been more than a new computer so I just got a new one). About two weeks before I broke my MB, I installed a 120GB internal drive and put windows xp on it (not my choice...my Uni's). So now I have a brand new MB with a tiny 60GB HD, and I would like to install the 120GB HD I have from my broken computer, but I don't know if the drive is messed up too. I'm afraid my new computer will go up in smoke if I install it now, and I was going to wait until this weekend to take it up to an apple store and let them do it, but I really want all my data now! Is there any way I can tell if the drive is messed up? It looks fine to me. I noticed a little thing on it that cell phone batteries have which change color if liquid got on it, and this one is grey (doesn't it turn pink?). I know I SHOULD wait until the weekend, but if any of you know that it would be fine for me to do it now, I will!

Get yourself an externall SATA-USB case, put your juiced 120 drive in it.
That way, there is no chance of damage to your new machine. If the 120 runs properly, then bonus.

I would do that if I had to wait a while before I could get to an apple store, but I'd rather wait until this weekend instead of paying $50 to find out now.
