"does not work" at all. does not show up in finder. probably not spinning i think.
You said it worked on a MacBook. When you plug it into your MacBook, if you navigate to System Profiler>USB, what does it show? (copy/paste to your reply).
Also, when mounted on your MacBook, if you go to Disk Utility and highlight the drive and press the "Info" button, what does this show (again, copy/paste).
The things I'm interested in are the chipset of the USB bridge board of the external enclosure, and the partition format of the HD (which I assume is Apple Partition Format and HFS+ file system since you said this HD was your old HD). If you know the exact model of the external enclosure, that might help also for finding the correct external power transformer (assuming you actually need one, which normally isn't required for 2.5" HDs unless you need to boot USB).
