You can only hope that it is the caddy and the USB interface card that is duff. You can get an empty caddy on e-bay for about 10$, might be worth a try, swop the drive and see what happens. On the downside these 2.5" (I assume it is such.) do seem to have a habit of just packing in with a characteristic stop and start sound from them, as if they are trying to spin up and don't quite make it. I lost a 40GB one like that last month, I bought a new caddy but finished up buying a new drive as well. Hope you are luckier than me! Regards.

Hold it - go slow. First try it on another PC. If no joy & beside trying a different caddy as suggested above, you have several other options listed HERE.
