External Hard Drive Problem!!!

[kacee80]

Is there a way to test my external hard drive to see if the issue is within the external hard drive itself? It will not show up on my laptop at all. I run a karaoke/dj business and I have to work tonight.....I need HELP asap, PLEASE!!! ANY IDEAS would be MUCH appreciated!

Take HDD out form enclosure and connect directly to the SATA port of a desktop computer.
