Question : Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 as External Drive

I recently purchased an empty USB2 IDE enclosure that I want to use with my laptop to back up files.  The device is recognized in Device Manager as well as the drive.   I can populate the device but it is not found under My Computer and no files or folders can be seen.  The drive is known good since I can plug it into my W2K Server as an internal drive.  Can this drive be configured as an external device?

I am running  XP Pro on a Compaq V2000 laptop.  I know the USB ports are fine cause I can plug other devices into them with no problems.  I tried another DiamondMax Plus 8 drive I have and it has the same problems.  I have tried every known jumper config I can find.

Thanks,
