IDE to USb Problems

The Laptop died as part of a mainboard failure - have had this confirmed at
repair shop.
The disk is spinning in the enclosure and it sounds normal.
When I run Rescan in disk management it only shows my normal two internal
hard disks and my USB connected external hard drive as well as the DVD drive,
but it does not display the enclosure connected drive.
I have tried it with the other USB external hard drive disconnected, but the
same result - device is in device manager but not in disk management or my
computer. It is also listed in the safely Remove Hardware list as "USB Mass
Storage Device/Disk Drive"

If your computer is using SATA drives check your BIOS settings to be sure
you can use both PATA and SATA drives.

Just gone into the CMOS setup and I have no option there to allow PATA or
otherwise. If it helps my system is a Dell Dimension E521 and is SATA.

Does any other computer show the drive in Computer when the enclosure is
connected to it?
