The hard drive, obviously needs power. If the drive is out of the PC complete, then one way to make it work, is to simply hook the drive up on a molex / sata power lead, together with the ide or sata lead. Turn the power on, and check the drive is spinning.
the other way, is to purchase a ide - usb cable. (Presuming the drive in question is a ide drive). This comes with its own power lead.
Hope this helps
Be safe
