why can't I access my external hard drive with a different USB adapter?

The USB plug broke for my external hard drive so I tried using my universal drive to USB adapter but it isn't being recognized by my computer. Do they use some sort of special formatting that would prevent it? The external drive is a newer Cirago with a SATA drive. I'm using a SATA to USB adapter. My OS is Ubuntu. Any help would be awesome.
