Wrong section, should be in either the help section or the hardware section.

OT: Try plugging it into a different port.

OT: Plug it into another port, restart computer.

Sorry about posting in wrong section. thanks for the advice! Different ports didnt work, and i havent tried it on another computer yet to see if it is the device itself. If it is the device, is there anyway that i could get the data on there, off? like, would i be wasting my time if i took it to a computer repair joint

Oh for ****'s sake the guy is asking for help and you tell him to use magnets? Shit like that deserves a ban.

OP, the magnets will wipe your data. Don't do it.

Is the hard drive USB powered or AC powered? When you plug it in, can you hear the drive spin up/see any LEDs on the drive light up?
