Question can't connect old hard drive and save old files

Hello
I have an old PC hard hardrive like 1.4 gb. I tried connecting to my existing desktop as a secondary drive, but XP wouldn't find the drive, even after playing with the bios and stuff, couldn't get it to work.
Wondering if anyone knows of any hardware gadgets that would allow me to just hook up my old drive, and copy all the files.
Thank you

(^^;?(It is now often the case. XP's disk management is fool and quite unreliable.)

Use dos or Win98 bootdisk, with ntfs dos if necessary. Otherwise make Knoppix or Ultimate CD.
