I replied to this thread, but for whatever reason it hasn't appeared.
Standard procedure is
1. different USB port
2. Different USB cable
3. Running the hard disk internally.
If 1 and 2 fail but 3 works, the enclosure might be knackered, if all three fail the drive might be the problem.

Thanks, going to try the utility. I've switched ports, etc. Not the cable, only because I don't have one handy. If this doesn't work....any suggestions for data recovery? I'd like to rescue everything if possible, then try to reformat the drive after everything is salvaged.
