HDD = Samsung 2.5in 320 Gb model number HM320JI

The external hard drive, connected by USB, lights up, runs and warms up. but is not detected by windows. It is present, however, when attempting to close USB devices.
I have tried removing all other USB connections, (low power?) mouse and External M-Audio sound card with no change.

I have followed the installation instructions, both those that came with the items and those linked below ...

but the boot page on my laptop does not contain the same elements as the instructions on the Samsung helper. I don't feel confident to have a stab at it where there are similarities!!

The iMicro enclosure, that states it is suitable for drives up to 200 Gb but the store said it would be fine.(!?)

Thanks for your help,
