Small world, I had the same issue today (not a FC system, but a Linux
system so quite likely similar reasons). When I had a Maxtor 40 gig
in the USB 2.0 enclosure my laptop with a bootable Linux CD could see
that drive. But when I put in a Western Digital 40 gig drive it
couldn't see that drive properly (some errors in dmesg waiting for
drive to be ready, and some other such message). I know the drive is
valid because I had viewed it under a Windows system (doing a forensic
acquisition) and was using a Linux box to re-hash the drive for
validation. I wonder if the problem might be with certain brand
drives working properly with Linux while in a USB enclosure?

I thought it was the brand and returned an Accudata for an Iomega...didn't
help.
