A "USB external disk case" is a case which will hold an separate internal type hard drive (which you will have to purchase also) and will plug into your USB ports on your computer. Save your rs750 and put it toward a large internal hard drive and then install that into your Compaq. There is a web site to guide you through the process of installing hard drives and upgrading the memory on your computers.
If you can set the laptop to boot from the USB external HDD it might get somewhere (try safe mode). But you will definately be able to read your data files off it as Windows XP can read FAT32 (Win98) drives.
Either the drive is not connected correctly or the enclosure is bad or you need to initialize the drive through the Administrator tools. Be sure that the drive is power up and spinning first. Then be sure that you have the cable connected correctly. One way works the other does not. Make sure that you use the "Cable Select" position of the drive selector. Many IDE cables can be connected 180 degrees out. If all is correct and running, time to check the Computer Management (XP or 2K) under Administrator Tools (in the Control Panel), for Win98se or WinME then you need to get the correct driver for the case to function properly. If you have old FAT or FAT32 drives that are already formatted then you should not be having initialization problems with XP or Win2k. If you have new drives you may have to inititalize them with Computer Management. If you have old NTFS drives then you may have to import the drive with Disk Management under Computer Management.
