Not a hardware expert by a long shot, but I certainly would confirm the HD 
is good in a desktop. I'd also try a second (known good) HD in the usb 
carrier, preferably a HD with a good filesystem on it. I suspect the pair 
of tests may give you enough information to start further testing.

FWIW, did usbview show up anything when you attached the carrier/HD? 
Another data point obviously.
