Are you using a desktop computer in which the case is easily opened 
and in which there is at least one unused power cable and sata or 
ide conncetion?

If so - and if you are compfortable opening the case you can just hook 
the drive up directly to the extra power cable and data cable in the 
computer after opening the case and try it out.

Of course you power off the computer befor doing the hoook up :)

I usually set the naked harddrive on the desk next to the computer on top 
of a paperback book when I do this.

At least this reduces the problem by one variable. It cuts out the USB 
link.
