I have a 1 TB buffalo external hard disk which has data around 750 GB. Recently something wrong happened to this. when i am plugging it, system will make a sound and i can see that in "safely remove disk" option. but it is not showing up in 'My Computer' and 'Disk Management'. When I tried 'chkdsk' it gave me a message 'can not open volume for direct access'. I tried in Linux system also but no use. Any idea friends?

i am using Windows 8 Pro.
