could you put an existing hard drive in it that already has files in it, and access it that way? or do you have to do a reformat procedure & such before you put it in the enclosure?

moving a drive from an internal connector to a firewire shell should not require a reformat, especially if it's just a storage disk (i.e. it isn't the drive which the operating system is installed on). as long as the system understands how to use the IDE-to-Firewire/USB adapter, it'll be fine... the drive itself is not "aware" of how it is connected.
if you try to do that with a drive which contains the operating system, you might need to perform a system repair (aka "partial reinstall") with your operating system CD in order to re-configure its startup process... but even that should not necessarily require a reformat.
