Hi Jim, that is exactly what I did! I went to CompUSA and bought the 
enclosure. I slapped my Fugitsu drive in the USB enclosure and was able 
to backup my important files to my desktop computer. It only cost about 
$30 and it is a good investment for future use. I had to put the drive 
in  the vertical position or slanted position to get the drive to spin 
and copy the files. But it worked. I then put the old drive in the 
trash! I plan on buying me a spare notebook drive and putting it in the 
enclosure so I will have another backup drive for use at work.
