The likely SATA refusal problem is that the BIOS will be set for the
modern drive and won't see the new (Older) type.

You can use a live Linux CD to get the computer up and running to
check what is actually at fault.

Can you put the drive you want to rescue in another computer? It
amounts to the same thing as that dock. You'd have to install it as a
second drive of course as it is unlikely to accept the new hardware
without Windows bonging it.

For 29 quid I'd be tempted to look for another SATA or to do something
with the BIOS.

I would take a look at Microsoft's help site:

Have you had the box click jacked from a phishing site? Try a set of
zipped updated security stuff from another PC and boot to Safe mode.

Time to consider getting to know Linux stuff methinketh.
