Oh yea, the other suggestion would be to take the external enclosure
apart and just plug the hard drive in inside the machine, which again,
might not be that much use!

Hmm, at least that narrows it down to the card....
Can you see the disk in the left hand panel of disk utility when
it's plugged into the pci card? It could be that disk utility is
seeing it but it's not being mounted for sone reason. Not too likely
though.
What does it say in system profiler under "pci cards"?
Mine says something like "pci1106,3038______USB Universal Host
Controller____Yes____PCI____SLOT-3"
I think the important bit is the "Yes" in the "Driver Installed"
column.
I can send you a screenshot off list if that'll make more sense

"Has the drive been formatted already?
Does it show up in disk utility?"
Yes, It's been formatted by disk Utility and shows up when
connected to the native USB1 port on the Quicksilver and also when
connected to a cheap USB 1 hub. The new PCI card is a USB 2.1?
However, originally I think the drive shipped as a Fat 32? which I
erased because I tried to CCC a bootable system on it. That didn't
work but I did get a successful back up. I was running OS X 10.3.9
at the time and now I'm on Tiger 10.4.11
