Hi there,

First check if power is coming on the external drive,you will have either led light or you will feel the hard drive vibrating a little,if this is fine then change the usb data cable and plug it to system.

Hi there,

Have you checked with other usb port?also on other pc?Its sometimes in disk management and needs to be formatted to make it alive again,to get in disk management press start+r,then enter command: diskmgmt.msc
and press ok.Once management console has been opened,you will get it as raw partition in black and right click on it and make new partition.

Thanks
