FYI and maybe OT -- For about $15 you can get an external
USB<->IDE/SATA connector at Fry's and possibly other shops. It
includes power via USB or standard house AC. I use similar tools
regularly for imaging drives as part of drive forensics work. It's
handy for emergency backups or scavening data off failed machines too.
