They are two completely different buss types. There may be some sort of adapter made, but I don't recall seeing one, and I highly doubt you'd find it at Wally World... 
If your computer does not have a Firewire port, what are you going to plug it in to...?
You need Firewire on your computer, to talk to a Firewire drive. If not, remove the drive from the enclosure, and put it in a USB enclosure (providing it's a standard SATA drive).
