Very likely.
If the drive was formatted for use with a MAC system then you will probably need something like MacDrive Link Removed to successfully recover that data from that drive.

Quite a lot of methods. For small quantities of data you can email the files. For large transfers you can use methods described as on here:

But Win 7 PC can't "see" the PATA 2.5" drive w/ Mac OS X data on it....?

If you are talking about Windows Explorer than no it won't because the file system for the drive is likely HFS or HFS+ or something similar and completely foreign to Windows OS.
I believe that is what the software is for. Maybe give the 5 day free trial of the software I linked to above a try and see if that gets you anywhere.
If neither device manager nor disk management sees the drive then the problem may be something else entirely.
