I found an old internal hard drive from a Windows machine I had
years ago. I now have an Intel MBP. If I get a Mac compatible hard
drive enclosure would I be able to connect the old hard drive (in
the enclosure) to the new MBP through a USB and get non-Windows
files (.mp3, .jpeg, html, etc.) off of the old drive?
Yes. Mac OS X can read both FAT and NTFS filesystems.
Would it do any harm to the new MBP?
No.
When done, you can even format the drive and use it with your Mac.
It doesn't have to be a "Mac compatible" enclosure; any USB and/or
FireWire enclosure will do.
