I think it has failed and needs to be replaced.

Hi mtkitkat,
Does the LED turn on when you connect the drive? Do you hear it spinning? I would recommend you to try the device with another USB cable. If the drive is still unrecognized on any PC, you should contact the reseller and get a replacement.

Hope this helps

The LED light does turn on, and it appears to be spinning, just is unrecognizable. I tried a new cord, and it didn't make a difference. If I get a replacement though, will I not lose all of the data on the drive? Or is there a way to get that removed?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Unfortunately, if you replace the drive, you will lose all the data. Could you double check if the drive is seen in Device Manager (under USB devices) and in Disk Management. It may appear as a drive with different file format, like RAW for example. If the drive is in Device Manager, uninstall it, restart the PC and plug the device back in.
If none of this helps, try using a Linux Live CD to access the device. There is a small chance that you may gain enough access to copy your data.
