External Drive beeping & won't show in My Computer

[chormatus]

---

Last night I plugged in my external hard drive and started making a beeping noise, and it won't show up in "My Computer". I can't do anything to fix it because it doesn't even appear in my computer, not even in disk management.

External hard drive is 250GB Seagate Barracuda SATA
Casing Intex
I bought it from one of the stores in SM last Feb 12, 2009

kabalo ka generic hdd enclosure will end up like that maski new pana cya coz dli mana quality gud swerti ra kaayo ka mo lungtad na. INTEX is nice depende sa model but still generic jud na cya mga materials gi gamit dali ra ma daut.

Try to check the adaptor and the power cord bro...mao nay kasagaran cause jud.

Unsa klase sa imong enclosure?
Mao pa paggamit nimo sa imong enclosure pagkapalit sa imong HD?

Kumusta naman imong external bro? Unsa nay update?

Sorry i haven't updated you last night. I tried to plug it in other units: 3 pcs and 2 laptops. It worked perfectly on both laptops (both using VISTA) but won't work on any of the 3 pcs (2 using XP and one Windows 7 beta). When I have it checked from the store where I bought it, it worked perfectly on their 3 PCs.

Im kinda confuse of the problem kay selective ra man ang problema. The store won't replace it kay its working man kuno sa ilang pc.

Mas maayo imong gi pa format sa store imong gipalitan sa item. Para pag test nimo, kabalo ka asa ang problema. Dili ba possibly nga pag test nila nagamit ug laing USB cord?
