The sad part about this is that before the drive came into the OP's
possession who knows what sort of data was stored on it and is now
recoverable. From the OP: "an old clinics hard drive" Makes you wonder
doesn't it?

What really is concerning me is that there's all this talk about virus
prevention and worry about spyware but people tend to forget the very basic
things that need to be done.
