A hard drive question.

A hard drive question.
About 3 weeks ago my hard drive failed to boot up windows, it would get to 33% on scan disc and make a noise that was not normal and always failed to boot.
Anyway I went and bought a new HD and installed it and loaded windows on to it, and it's now fine, the only problem is is that all my work's on my 'dead' HD.
It turns out that when I set my old HD to slave with master, the new hard drive is able to load up windows and then I'm able to access the 'dead' drives information through my computer.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to change the old drive to the master once windows has loaded via the new drive so I can have the desktop as it used to be, is there a way to do this .. ?

If you've any important information on the duff drive, get it off ASAP. It will be costly in time and money if you have to get anything recovered when it does eventually fail.
