If it was me I'd just remove the hdd from the usb enclosure and plug it into
the IDE cable in a working PC.. Make sure to set the jumper to slave on the
hdd if your are hooking it up with another device that is set to master.

I have this problem once. The problem could be that your laptop cannot
provide enough power to the USB HD so it was unable to read the data.
even though the OS recognized that a USB device is plugged in.

Indeed. Usually when this condition occurs, you can hear the drive click
repeatedly. Some of these come with a dual USB connector at the computer
end for additional power.

try plugging into another PC
