I have a Fujitsu 40 GB 2.5" laptop drive, model MHT2040AT. I want to connect this drive to my desktop computer. I have already bought an adapter to connect this drive to my computer, but for some reason, the BIOS System Setuprecognizes it as "Unknown Drive" and i can't do anything with it. How do i make the drive usable?? ---I have two other hard drives, SATA (main windows drive) and IDE (backup). I want to install this drive to put Windows Vista on it.

USB bus itself is somewhat not reliable to use as a booting conduit, I have problem with it as we speak, you should get a simple IDE-ATAPI (the name of laptop size IDE) adapter and make the laptop drive a desktop drive.
Such adapter might be bundled with full IDE sized USB adapter. That made buying 2.5" enclosure redundant.
