Hi 01electronsh, welcome to PCHF.

Putting the HDD as slave in another PC would put the master hard drive under some risk yes. It depends what you are infected with.

Are you even able to enter safe mode (F8 during startup).

Your last resort would be to wipe the HDD and use the recovery CD.

How are you certain that this is a virus problem?

Another idea possibly, is to use a boot CD with virus cleaning tools on it...such as Bart PE or Ultimate Boot CD. That way you won't need to boot into your Windows installation.
