[/img]I will post screen shots for help. It shows in disk management..even in device management but i cannot access the device.

It shows up under device and printers. It also shows up as portable device drive E under device manager. Under Disk manager it shows up as well for drive E. It says no media. It also does not show the blue or black bar that shows for unallocated or allocated. Please help.. my usb port does not recognize anything I plug into it

Please note that i have already uninstalled my USB drivers and reinstalled them.

 
Solution
Try using software recovery, something like Recuva (which is free). Once you have your stuff recovered, can take the next steps and see if the drive is salvageable.
