I have a 500 GB IDE HD that I took out of its external case (switch melted)

I'm looking to dump the whole thing on my iMac and then move it to my new 2TB external. While I dont need to buy a case for my old external I will if I have to.

Anyone know of a cheap way to connect my HD to my computer?
 
That would work, It looks ugly and ungainly but it'll work.
 
bought the kit. plugged everything in. I can feel it running, but not showing up on my Mac.

any suggestions?
 
Try using it on an actual PC to see if it's a compatibility issue.

It probably won't show up if the drive is formatted NTFS. Have you gone to drive utility? Does it see the drive?
 
The switch broke on my external so I took it out of its casing and bought this kit, just so I could dump the data on to my computer.......I thought it would recognize it.
