you probably need an enclosure to power it, unless you want to hotwire those contacts into the power supply for your desktop. If you're lucky the drive will have a molex connector (four pins in a row) which you can plug in to your power supply.

If the info is really irreplaceable, I would go buy an enclosure for the drive that has a power supply. If it works, hooray! If it doesn't, you take it back.

Yeah that's pretty much the plan at this point I'm going to be next to radioshack tomorrow anyway when I go to the comic shop, I may as well pick it up

Have you tried blowing in the cart?

I used to be the same way about a different style connector and then I was trying to buy parts one time and found out Molex makes like 100,000 connectors realized I had to me more specific.

the adapter I bought comes with a little dingy like that I just have no place to plug it in So I'm probably going to return the cord and spend an extra ten bucks on an enclosure

it uh plugs into your computer, like from a power cable coming off of the PSU.

well shit then I have two power thingys One hooks into the hard drive and then into the wall (for 3.5" drives)

Think I'll go with the easier option
