Why Isn't my hard drive running?

[SailorJ]

Just recently my desktop computer stopped working after I pulled out the plug one night. Since I was planning on getting a new desktop I wanted to see if I could get all of the important things off my hard drive; unfortunately, when I hooked it up to my laptop it didn't run. Does it need more power or is it dead? Or does it need a different usb to hook it up?

because that adapter is only for 2.5" HDD (laptop HDD), if your gonna use the 3.5" (desktop HDD) you need a extra power source.
