There is the problem - my enclosure hd did not show up in the explorer so 
there was nothing to click on.

Since most of the 'removable media' drives (built in) did not show up in the 
manager, there was nothing to click on there. - how to access those?

For the moment, I have returned the enclosure to the store so cannot try 
anything here - until I get something REAL solid, then I will purchase the 
enclosure again to try those ideas (there was a short time window during 
which I could return the enclosure.)
