An enclosure isn't going to help at this point. Just to make sure I connected a laptop sata hdd to a desktop motherboard sata port, hooked power to it and booted up. No problems recognizing the drive. Only thing I had to do was take ownership of the documents and settings folder to access the old data. Might as well grab some of that while I have it hooked up.
You need to have the drive recognized by a computer, putting it into a caddy won't change that. You hooked up both a sata data cable and a sata power cable to it?
