    try to insert your usb hard drive in other computer! If it is read by other computer, the problem is in your computer.. uninstall all the usb drivers from your device manager and reinstall again..

    but: if the other computer doesn't recognized your usb hard drive, maybe you try this!
    1. format your usb hard drive
    2. use and recuva installer( try to download it! Its free and virus carried.)
    = this.. application can recover deleted files..
