    sure it's possible. the enclosure itself has it's own power supply, so the drive should still be able to be taken out and plugged in internally. lets just hope the drive isnt fried too. any idea why that happened?

    el bumpo,, i opened it up, plugged it into a pc and the pc wont turn on, take out the hard drive and the pc turns on no problem. presumably the hard drive is dead,

    Any way to fix this?
