So you have connected this drive to other computers and still not recognized on other PC's?

You have tried other ports and still not detecting?

Have you installed or changed any software or hardware since stopped working

Yes I tried it already and still nothing happened... as far as I remembered I haven't installed any software or hardware... coz I was just watching movie from my portable HD and it stopped but it has power... thats what happened...
