[Tfug] USB mass storage?

[robbinsc at ece.arizona.edu]

I bought a new, 200gb WD hard drive off ebay, and the auction included an
external USB enclosure (I plan to use it with my laptop.)  I recieved it
last night and plugged it in, and it was recognized.  SuSE 9.1 reported a
USB mass storage drive, and can correctly report the size and format of
the drive (NTFS), but I can't access any of its' contents.  I get an error
message along the lines of "usb storage device can not be accessed".  Does
anyone here have any experience with external USB drives, or can direct me
in the right direction?  I've got all the SCSI and USB tools installed,
but nothing has worked yet.  I thank anyone that can help me to get this
thing working.....
