Even if the old pc was as old as windows 95, 3.11, 3.1 or NT4, you can still access the old hard drive in the new pc if it is XP.

Why unplug the cd rom that you assume it has?
Why not just assume that it has an extra bay and he can run one as master and the other as slave, assuming he can guess all the connections and which to make the master and which as slave?
No I assume you mean he can assume that he has done all the correct things just by throwing everything into the air and seeing where it lands.
Assumptions can be some of the most expensive things associated with a P.C.
I hope he ignores your advise and really does get in touch with entwisi, he will have a chance of a working computer if he follows his advice!
Can I assume you agree?
