Hi,
Someone please help

I have a external hard drive which was working with no problems at all... Got asked to take some stuff from an old computer which went ok couple of days later I tried to go back onto the HDD and it was not showing up on "My Computer" ..... so I checked the device manager under disc drives which the HDD showed and when I went into properties it said thedrive was working ok. I have tried changing the USB cable to make sure it was not that, also tried taking HDD out of caddy and putting into a computer which still did not ready the data on it. I have ton of pictures of my wee boy on it which i really dont want to lose.... Can anyone help please?? Cheers

Yes my patners dad asked if I would take the pictures from his computer and then restore it putting Windows XP back onto it.
so i done all that for him but after sorting his computer and went to put his pictures back on and my HDD would not work.
