Universal hard drive adapter, not helping allowing me to read?

I bought a universal hard drive adapter, I tried to plug it in to my old i book G4 hard drive and it just won't read it. IT does't show up on my computer at all. I don't know what to do! I broke the screen from my old ibook g4 and just wanted to save the hard drive.

Two possible reasons:

You probably don't have enough power from your USB port… or,
you can not boot that age Mac from USB (Firewire or optical disk only).

The first could be solved , possibly by putting a self-powered USB hub inline between the computer and the "universal" adapter. or by getting a firewire ported external case for the ATA drive.

You should be able to access the data from the drive'' (but not boot from it)'' using your adapter to connect to a much news model Mac.
