EEK! Hooking up internal IDE notebook drive to usb adapter problem

The HDD I have is from a Dell Inspiron 8500.

It's likely dying, so I want to hook it up to my new laptop to first use YCopy to back up the most important files, and then attempt to use Ez Gig II to make an image of the drive if possible.

However, I purchased Apricorn's Universal Hard Drive Adapter and the HDD linked above does NOT fit into any of the 3 adapter slots.

Here's an image of what the pins look like.

If necessary, I'll just return this and use Clonezilla to clone the drive with whatever cables I buy. What do I need to hook up this HDD to my new laptop via USB? Thanks!
