Essentially that's how it should go. Since you've already formatted it, it should just pop up once it installs the USB-PATA bridge drivers from the enclosure that gets automatically installed.
 
carnageX thanks for all your help. I got my new Rosewill external enclosure, put my HD in, plugged it into my computer, new hard ware found, Hitachi HD, needs formatted. went through Hardware Management and formatted, works like a champ.

I would have to guess the first enclosure I bought was or went bad , RMA back to NewEgg for a refund. I didnt think it was supposed to be that hard to firgure out........
 
Glad you got it all figured out. Yeah, they're not supposed to be hard to figure out, but the enclosure also isn't supposed to be bad out of the box lol. Glad its working for you now.
