Thanks for the replies...
I do not have a desktop with me anymore, but that can be arranged this weekend... am surely gonna try that..
I do not have any more laptop HDD's with me to try that china made case so i dont know if that is flawed...(all i can say is that the power light shows on i.e. it is glowing red)
Here is the result of sudo fdisk -l:

Partition table entries are not in disk order
There is a valid Mac label on this disk.
Unfortunately fdisk(1) cannot handle these disks.
Use either pdisk or parted to modify the partition table.
Nevertheless some advice:
1. fdisk will destroy its contents on write.
2. Be sure that this disk is NOT a still vital
part of a volume group. (Otherwise you may
erase the other disks as well, if unmirrored.)
