External hdd

[reddevil157]

Hey guy's, I took a hd from my old lappy, it's a 2.5 ide hitachi. I bought an external caddy for it. Now, my question is, can I just plug it into my new lappy ( win 7 ) and view the content on there ? Or would there be a problem because of the os ( xp ) on the old hd ?. Would I have to format it, and lose the content that's on it ? Thank's in advance.
