Oy, Technology!

Odd technical question that I'll pose here, on the slight chance that anyone knows what the hell I'm talking about. I have this 2.5" USB drive enclosure and I'm trying to connect an old laptop hard drive to it. When I connect the old drive to the enclosure, then connect the enclosure to a new machine, the enclosure powers up, but Windows doesn't recognize it. Not only does Windows not recognize it, but nothing's even showing up in the Device Manager. I've reproduced this on multiple machines. Anybody have any ideas what's happening here?

Okay, due to frustration from the first paragraph, you guys aren't getting anything good today. Here's a list of thoughts.
1. We went to a fancy fondue place this weekend, and yes, you may say that I was very fondue of it. I'm not sure what exactly I associated fondue with, but it always sounded a little weird and so I was reluctant to try. Now that I've tried, I feel like my life was a little less interested without the fondue. (This is not to say that I should be inundated with fondue crock pots for my birthday; please don't get me any of that crap.)
2. The best part of the Super Bowl was Prince's halftime show. Those words are a little strange to type. If I had a time machine, printed that sentence out, then gone back 2 or 3 weeks and showed the print-out to myself, past me would force future me into proving I'm not a cyborg sent to destroy me. There are two flaws to this plan, though. First, I don't have a time machine and second, I don't have a printer. Prince was really entertaining, however.
3. We're still accepting entries in the Who's the Farthest? contest. By we, I mean me. And by me, I mean current me, not future or past me.
