USB HD Enclosure won't mount

The original HD on my 15" G4 powerbook was clearly dying a few weeks ago (couldn't even boot from it), so I replaced it, and the new one works fine. However, I bought a usb2.0 enclosure to recover my most recent data from the old HD (older stuff had been backed up on DVD-RW).

The old disk will NOT mount. It doesn't show up in any utility I have (Norton DD, Disk Utility, system profiler, etc). However, I took it to work, and a more IT savvy collegue was able to mount it on his Linux machine. He pulled it all off, but of course one of the DVDs he burned has some error on it.

How do I get this thing mounted? I using the double USB adapters to get enough power, etc. The light goes on, it spins for a while, but no one is home.
