... is a 2.5inch enclosure the right one ...

Yes but you have to check whether your drive is SATA or PATA for the correct internal interface.

To connect to your PC you have to choose between USB, Firewire & eSATA or a combination of them.

2.5 inch is the laptop HDD size, just make sure you get the right case as far as IDE/SATA goes.

-Edit- Sorry, I think I was busy writing my reply while ponder was replying...

This may help identify which HDD you have:

SATA on the left and PATA on the right...

Get a 2.5" Media Player which also works as a standard external drive

Enclosure should cost ~R80.00 Powered by USB- nice and portable.
