OFC you can.
You can easily mount it in an USB-->IDE adapter or either at the internal IDE header on the mobo.
Windows will say that the hard drive needs format (ignore that ofc).

In WinUAE you'll go on the "Hard drives" tab, you just click "Add HardDrive..." button and select your IDE HD from the list and afterwards check the option Read/Write.

That's all

Well, YMMV, but I'd normally set it Read Only, check if I can access everything THEN (if all is successful) make it R/W. (Since I prefer to be on the safe shore: because once there's an error of whatever kind, nothing will bring the data back on your physical Amiga IDE drive!)

Safest way is to create full hd image first (using hdf creator in add harddrive panel) before even attempting to boot from hd.
