Old HD with malwares

Hi. Recently I installed an old HD from 2005/06 my PC. After installing a did a scan on in and found several malwares, including a backdoor. I want to know if any of those viruses could have affected my machine.
If this helps with anything, the HD was from a WinXP laptop and Im running now Win7 x86. Thanks.
