Hey Rob,
Thanks for the response. Yes, the enclosure was through USB. The only other computer that I have that operates SATA hard drives is an HP slimline. I opened it up, but there's no way to add a slave internally. I might have to go to Wal-Mart and buy one of their big desk top computers and slave the hard drive in there.

THat's a good idea about scanning it in there, while I'm in disc management. However, every single time I've commanded the computer to scan the disc, it says it's unreadable and corrupted.

My brother found a disc on the internet for $10. He says it is a disc that forces a computer to boot up. Do you think that would fix this problem?
