Plug the destination drive into the new USB adapter you got?

The laptop is too old to read a usb device like that without drivers

Boot a clonezilla or Linux CD, don’t use your windows install.

Could also try just a flash drive, I imagine whatever drive in there is pretty small. What ide adapter do you have anyways

OK something that old surely has a serial port on it? If so, look in to “sneakernet” (it’s a technique, not a product) to connect to another computer. I’ve even done networking over a serial port with linux, but there also used to be software just for copying files. That wouldn’t give you a drive image but it would at least back up the software.
