Is this a new drive or one you've been using awhile?
Is it a portable drive or a bigger one that requires an external power supply?

Does it even turn on when plugged into the external power supply? Because if it doesn't do that then you have a dead drive.

Test with your other USB ports or even on another computer if possible.
The USB connection could be loose/damaged and the drive itself is OK.
