USB external drive (enclosure)

I have a Metal Gear Box drive enclosure (USB2) that I use just fine.
Recently, I bought another one that looks the same on the outside, but
the circuit board is totally different (appears to be two different
companies).
My WinXP Pro SP2 system doesn't recognize the new enclosure at all, no
'new hardware detected' bubble pops up. I then borrowed a different
brand USB enclosure from work, and had the exact same issue.
Neither new enclosures show up in Disk Management. At work, I can use
all three just fine on a WinXP Pro SP2 box.
Tried using Device Manager to remove (uninstall) the USB entries, but
system still won't recognize the other enclosures.
Tried Update Drivers for for the USB entries under the USB section of
Device Manager, but none new found.
Have not yet tried having working enclosure connected, then trying to
update its driver in Device Manager.
I'm sure a fresh install of Windows would fix it, I really don't want
to reinstall all my software etc just to fix this USB drive issue. It
somehow should be fixable without a reinstall.
I think I even tried setting the drive in the enclosure from Cable
Select to Master, no luck.
Most annoying.
