    - Is the drive self-powered, that only powered by the USB bus? If so it could be that the USB port does not provided enough power. You can try a powered USB hub. You can also get a USB pigtail that takes power from to USB ports to the single USB port on the drive like this one.

    - Does it show in Disk Utility?

    - Does it show in System Profiler under USB? You should see the chipset in the enclosure as well as the HD itself
