Default Vista+USB Drive - Somewhat Unique Q

I have a hard drive that was removed from a computer that I had a year ago.
The drive was the primary drive in that computer and has XP operating system
on it.

I want to get some of the personal files and data that are on that drive and
installed it in an external USB h/d enclosure.

Upon plugging it in the computer found the USB device but then gave an error
message stating that there was a problem with the device and may not work
properly.

The device does not show up in "My Computer".

The enclosure works fine with other drives installed.

I am thinking it is because there is an operating system on the external
drive that is causing it not to be recognized.

Any suggestions on how to get it connected so I can transfer the data from
the old drive to the new one?

Thanks!!
