Hit fleabay and snag a cheap chinese case. I hate wasting cash and
have had great success with these things. Pay maybe $5 and get it
shipped in a week or so. I have a dozen housing all sorts of old
drives I keep my pr0n on. Nothing like 40 gig of various hackintosh
distros or linux.

You need an external drive box, check Newegg, you can find them
pretty cheap. I have a bunch for IDE drives, just bought 2 for SATA
drives and stuck a dying drive in there and it works find now.
hmmm. the fan in the drive box probably has something to do with it,
I think when the drive was in the computer case it was getting too
hot and crashing.

So it appears the shutting down problem was the XP hard drive
itself. If I have power plugged into it, vista drive starts up and
shuts down the computer off. Sometimes it will try to run a scan
disk on the 2nd drive and it starts it but gets part way thru and
shuts down. If I leave power off the drive it runs fine, its
running fine now. Never seen a drive shut off a computer like
that. I still have many files on it I would like to move over to
the main hard drive. Is there some sort of cable adaptor you can
buy to hook an internal drive externally to a USB port and maybe I
can try it that way?
