win xp drive, enclosure off ebay (dont show make)2.5" hitachi hard drive from a laptop, and theres a few bits on drive.

but having stuff on the drive doesnt effect it because i also have a 3.5" enclosure and all my stuff from before was still on that one, and it works!

Windows XP will ALWAYS register an unbranded USB enclosure as plug and play. If it doesn't work after that, the cable or enclosure is probably broken - usually the enclosure, most of the hard disk enclosures I've seen on ebay are so poorly made that they won't last very long before breaking.
