One option is to remove the hard drive from the SimpleTech case. Buy a new generic USB drive enclosure and see if the drive itself is still good. I suspect it MIGHT. A simple hard drive failure should not crash your PC. But, a failure in the USB/Hard drive interface in the SimpleTech case might. You must first determine the type of hard drive in the SimpleTech case. A SATA drive will have a small 3/4 inch cable where an PATA (IDE) drive will have a 1 1/2 wide cable/plug interface.
If your not good with PC internals you could take the drive to a computer shop and have them do the transfer of the drive to the new case or better still test the drive first to see if the case transfer will work.
Good Luck
