Any USB2 drive enclosure will do.  As long as the old drive you&#39;re trying to pull data from is a SATA drive, you might want to consider this bad boy (or one like it at Fry&#39;s or whatever) as opposed to a traditional enclosure:<br>

<br>You basically plug in either a desktop or laptop size SATA drive in the top like it was toast going into a toaster...ummm...yeah, that SOUNDS like a bad analogy :) but they work great.<br><br>Jim<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

    <font face="Arial">Hi All,<br>
      <br>
      I have a friend who&#39;s laptop (Windows) died, but thinks the drive
      should be ok. She bought a new MacBook and would like to copy her
      data from the old laptop. My thought was to take the drive out of
      the defunct laptop and put it in a USB enclosure which could then
      be connected to the new Macbook.<br>
      <br>
      Does anyone have any recommendations on USB drive enclosures
      makes/models?<br>
      <br>

      Unix, but I&#39;m not a Mac person. I&#39;m assuming that this scenario
      would work. Let me know if I&#39;m missing something.<br>
      <br>
      Any thoughts would be helpful.<br>
      <br>
