How to connect used hard drive as second hard drive and retrieve files from it?

My friend's computer broke down. So I took out the hard drive from her computer. The hard drive is Seagate ST32111A and it's originally run under Windows 98. My question is, how could I connect this hard drive to a computer and retrieve files from it? I tried to connect as second hard drive on a Dell Windows XP computer but it failed completely.

Your solution is greatly appreciated.

Sorry rid, You hit enter before me.

Another option would be to get a USB HD enclosure.

Can I see the Hard drive and the files as well after I connect the Secondary IDE channel? Is there anything to do with Operating System?
