My computer died on me and I need some files in the harddrive. I just bought a 2.5" usb external enclosure and the connectors on it are different. My harddrive has a 22 position plug. What should i do?

Buy the right enclosure.
This is a Signature and not part of the answer, it appears on every reply.
This is an Analogy so don't take it personally as some have.
Why change the engine if all you need is to change the spark plugs.

I don't knwo which one to buy. The one that i got hs sharp pins and my hard drive has this flat connector.
Just thinking about the 22-pin connection... I guess this might refer to a 2.5" IDE (laptop) drive. They actually have TWO rows of 22-pins (44 in all), although to be absolutely correct one pin in the middle is missing so it acts as a keyway.
A further guess would be that you've bought an external USB enclosure for a SATA drive, which might not be what you need. Check this picture out:-
The SATA connector is the drive on the left and the IDE is on the smaller drive to the right. The SATA picture is of a 3.5" drive, but a SATA 2.5" laptop version has an identical connector. The IDE drive is a 2.5" laptop drive.
Hope that helps...

Your drive is a 2.5inch Seagate Momentus with SATA 150 interface.
So you need a 2.5inch external enclosure with SATA to USB like this one:

my heart it feels a broken beat
Touched soul and hurt lay wounded deep
Brown eyes are lost afar and sleep
