Hi tonymelah,

As you mentioned the Hard Drive is no longer detected in the Disk Management, try using a different Data Cable and attempt to connect. Also, try to connect to a different computer and check. If the Hard Drive is still not detect you might want to contact the Hard Drive manufacturer if the Hard Drive is still in warranty.

Hope this helps.
