The other connector on the USB Firelite is for external power if needed. You will need to buy another 2.5" hard drive enclosure and pull the drive from the firelite and put it in the new one to get the files. Before you buy a new one open the firelite and take the drive with you to verify if it is an ide or sata drive. This will determine the type of enclosure you need. You could also take it to a local computer store and have them back the data up to dvd, but this can get expensive. You can typically get a new 2.5" ide enclosure for under twenty dollars.
