I've tried hooking it up to my two IDE-to-USB

I've plugged into it). However, I don't see any sign of partitions.
What Chuck said. I have successfully connected IDE drives as small as
40MB to my Athlon 3200+ XP machine (vintage 2004) and they showed up
just fine.
If you're still having a problem, keep trying different cables,
computers, and operating systems.
When I plugged it directly into the motherboard, the
BIOS complained and
seemed to indicate 0MB.
I'd try a different computer just to be safe. Usually drives show up as
all or nothing, not "I'm here but 0 MB".
