This happens on any computer you've connected to? If so, there could be something wrong with the enclosure. Buy a 3.5" hard disk enclosure (searching for that on NewEgg.com is a great place to start), remove your hard disk from your current case, then install it on the one you bought. See if hooking up this new setup to your computer's USB works. Good luck!
