Hi bebopper, hopefully it only took out the controller in the enclosure. You'll need to remove the drive from the enclosure and install it in your computer using an IDE ribbon. What I have done in the past is unhook the cd drive and use that power connector and IDE ribbon to hook up the drive and remove the data. The drive is probably jumpered as a master, so connect it to the end connector on the ribbon. Mike
