What are you running... XP, Vista, 7.... ?
Are you certain the USB port is working.....?
Do you have anything else you can test it on.....?
Anything else you can plug into the USB port.....?
Is the USB support on the machine 1.1 or 2.0.....?
Just a few things for you to look at..... -
Ensure the external hdd is set as a master in the caddy/enclosure, not as a slave.... plug n play should then find it.
If its a driver issue? set the wizard to look in the WINDOWS/inf folder
post back with more info plz
