External Hard Drive: detected but does not show up in folder

My external hard drive (WD Passport 0748) can be detected, but doesn't show up in My Computer.
I tried everything I saw on the internet but to no avail. I need these files so badly! Help

It shows up in my Device Manager. Right clicked it and uninstalled it, plugged it back. It gets detected (again) but still, it doesnt show up in My Computer.

I went to Disk Management. It's unknown, not initialized and unallocated with black line on top. What does that mean? (See jpg 1)

It shows up in Devices and Printers but it has a yellow triangle mark on it with "!". (See jpg 2) So I click troubleshoot. It says "The driver for WD SES Device USB Device is not installed. Install the latest driver for the device." Then I click "Apply this fix." Then it says "WD SES Device USB Device doesn't have a driver. Not fixed" (See jpg 3).

I plugged my external hard drive to my other computer. I did the same thing, but still it didn't work. It gets detected but won't show up in My Computer.

1.Do you have any other Virtual CDROM drive showing up in My Computer (Other than the one from Daemon Tools)?

2. What is the exact model Number of your Passport drive? If you can show it to me in the WD website all the more better.

3. Did your drive come with Smartware backup software and did you ever install it and played around with it, today, yesterday, the day before or anytime?

4. Have you installed the SES driver anytime before? Especially when you plugged it in for the first time after you purchased?

5. How old is the drive?

6. From when did this problem arise?

7. Do you remember anything you did - even anything which you may think is remotely connected with this - after which this problem has cropped up?

Answer to all these questions may perhaps bring someone else having the same drive as yours if they can help. You may not expect anything off-the-cuff on this problem and I shall come in only if I can get something flashing in my mind as I sleep over it. :)

EDIT: Before I go to sleep I can't but throw some cold water - however much I don't like to say that, I have to pull myself up - if your drive did not come with a Virtual CD, if your drive did not come with smartware, if you hadn't installed an SES driver anytime before, and it has been functional till this day , this happened all of a sudden, it wouldn't show up on any other computer too, it is quite likely that it is dead. Try to initialise it but do not initialise. If it throws up any error message like I/O error - confirmed.
