I don't think your drive should be on the master jumper, but

rather slave. The master is for the boot (C:/) drive.

You probably need to enable the IDE controller in the BIOS

Look in ur Device Manager (In Control Panel under System, then the

Hardware tab). See if there are any generic USB devices recognized by  
Windows that could be ur external harddrive device. If you see it, check  
to see if there is a question mark beside it, which would indicate that  
the driver needs to be installed.  
 
Also try different USB ports & USB cables to make sure none of those have  
gone bad.  
 
Restarting sometimes works miracles. =)  
 
Hope this helps!
