External hdd problems

Yes.

That and heroics. Regarding heroics, just wait for more comment in this thread. There are various kinds of "recovery" tools, including partition recovery tools, but I am not well-versed in them. Ultimately, I'd think any consumer-level recovery tool would have to access the drive--which is exactly what you can't do at this time.

I'm assuming you've done obvious things like checking cables, etc.

Yeah i checked the cables nothing is loose. I tried it with another laptop running windows 7 and a computer running xp. I also took it out of the enclosure when I wanted to try to connect it to the computer.
