Well dang, that was it. I didn't know there was a difference. Of course in my excitement over getting the new computer and setting it up, I didn't bother reading the book.

Which USB port are you plugging the external enclosure into? It might be a low-power port that can't power the disks.

Thanks, but I guess my question kind of still dangles out there. They are SATA drives that came out of earlier iMacs. With this external Antec it shows up on the laptops, but not on the new iMac. I'm just wondering why. The whole reason for buying the thing was to make transferring old files on to the new computer easier.

24" iMac = old time drive-in movie theater

Get a USB drive adapter and try connecting the bare drive to your iMac, http://www.newertech.com/products/usb2_adaptv2.php. Find one discounted at macsales.com or provantage.com. Or get a Thermaltake or Startech USB HD dock if you have SATA drives.
