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........
