So this was working before on the same laptop? Try another computer (I am assuming this is an external USB hard drive).
If this is indeed an external USB hard drive, then next thing to try is removing the actual hard drive from the enclosure and putting it into another USB enclosure.
If you give us model of current 1TB drive I can recommend another enclosure.

I think you really need to get a new USB enclosure and put the drive in that and try again. They are cheap and readily available.
You need to make sure you don't have a Self Encrypting Drive though since then you will need an exact replacement external drive that you can install the drive into.
What model external drive do you have?
