My 3 TB hard drive has just stopped working all of a sudden. i have tried un-installing it and re-installing it and i restored my computer back to the day before thinking that might be the problem, but no such luck. It shows up as a device but i can not access it... what do i do?
 
If it doesn't appear in disk management, there probably isn't much you can do. If the drive is still under warranty then RMA it. Since it's an external drive you might want to try a different USB or ESATA cable dpending on what kind of external you have. If it has both interfaces, try using the other interface.
