That is more for Computers section, but the first question is where the problem with this disk is. The number of variants is limited:
1) just temporary software failure (easy to solve)
2) SATA<->USB part has problems (easy to solve)
3) SATA controller (on disk) has problems (normally hard/impossible to solve without pro service, but sometimes possible)
4) some part of the disk has electrical/mechanical problems (usually possible to recover undamaged part)
5) the disk is completely broken (impossible to solve without pro service, in most cases impossible to solve at all).
Any computer specialist can find the answer on this question within 10-60 minutes, assuming he/she has physical access to that disk and you agree to void the warranty for it (after checking (1), the second operation will be removing the disk from the enclosure).
