Of course you expose the other machine a SLIGHT risk of the same infection ... but... by making a suspected h.d. as a secondary drive, it is SO MUCH EASIER to clean it up than beating yours brains out if it is the boot drive.
Just a suggestion.

Ha, funny you should mention that. That's how I fixed my super old computer, I just took the hard drive out, plugged it in as a secondary drive and scanned it. I was able to recover what I wanted off the drive.
My other computer is okay (I think), it's just that something has messed with IE. Firefox runs just fine
