Maybe hook up the old drive as the master and boot to it? You will get
some pretty good errors booting up, particularly about all that new
hardware your old OS is seeing for the first time. However, it
should fire up at least once or twice and let you change sharing
permissions. Then just put the old drive back as a secondary and
reboot to your new drive.

Just an idea.

Also, we bought an IDE to USB converter for like 17 bucks US and it
turns old IDE drives into USB flash drives. I don't think your
permissions from that old drive will hold true if the OS on that old
drive is not actually booting up? Good Luck and let me know how it
turns out.
