If this is a drive which uses USB and/or firewire the first thing to try is
to attach it to the alternative connection. Then at least we'll get a
better idea of whether it's the drive itself, or the cable or whatever you
are attaching it to (ie USB or firewire).

Try that first to see whether we can't narrow down the problem area a bit.
