When the Mandriva screen appears I press F1 and type "rescue" but the program can't find my USB keyboard & mouse

First you will need a usable keyboard.
I've kinda lost track of your hd/box situation but I think you had 1 hd with win,probably installed first,and mandrake on the 2nd hd in the old box.
If this is correct when you took your hdb out and put it in another box Mandriva(it changed names with 10.2 I think) would'nt boot because there was no MBR written to this hd.
Did you dual boot your old setup?If so did you use lilo or grub?

What can I do so as to not lose anything from /home directory?

All you have to do is install grub from a floppy or live cd and it will boot just fine.
I went through this same thing not long ago so I will try to help.
Oops I just noticed there were 2 people asking ? in one thread.Sorry.Now I'm confused.
