If it was dropped and now your PC won't recognize it the drive is most likely dead. If that is true the only option to recover your data will probably cost you a bit of money.

Lesson of the day - Don't let others handle your expensive/important technology....

i tht "sum1" said tht he didnt drop it......he jst accidntly tuggd on the usb cable......as in it was plugged into my lap....n he took the lap n movesd it to my room...while he was carying it, its slid of the keyboard n hanged it self a bit....thts jst it....n i knw tht he never lies....so im prtty sure thts wat happnd.....

That explenation does not alter what poisonpanik said.
The drive is dead and will be VERY expensive to recover the data.
