do the enclosures have their own power source?
test them on another PC to be sure, they can go bad, without warning.
>> The computer is not picking up the drive << you mean there is no sound when you connect it, or loading ?
How is the drive connected, directly, or via an USB hub? If so, is the hib powered? if not, try a powered one, or a direct connection.
Was there any software, or upgrade installed before it happened? uninstalling it can help then
It began when I was on my computer the harddrive started beeping but it was still working, so I turned it off and when I turned it back on it hasn't worked since. The Enclosure connects to the computer via a usb and it has its own power source.
Where do you get the Intel Inf Update? I'm updated fully on windows update.
I also tried a different enclosure with a different harddrive who uses a usb and has a power supply, and it didn't pick up either.

it is the ACPI which has a problem : http://www.acpi.info/

a repair install can be necessary : http://www.short-media.com
but if it is a hardware problem, you may need to swap the mobo.

Did you make sure that the IDE drive was designated as master when connected to the USB enclosure? At times the drives either have the CS or without designation. Have you previously used this enclosure with this laptop successfully? It could very well that there are drivers need for the laptop to talk to the enclosure via USB. Check the device manager to see whether there are any devices that require attention (yellow exclamation).
