I finally tried the
enclosure tonight. It didn't work. All it did was keep making the noise it does when you plug in and unplug a USB device. It did this about every 5 seconds. I'm thinking the reason is one or both of the following:
1. The enclosure is not compatible with Vista. There is conflicting info on the various forums whether it is or not. The requirements mention XP but nothing about Vista.
2. The old drive is not configured properly as a master. According to some pages I found that give the configuration for my hard drive, I need another jumper.
