It is possible the drive has failed. However it may be that if you have a USB cable with 2 connections at the USB end is to connect the drive cable to 2 output ports at the same time. You could be suffering from a power problem. If that does not improve the situation then I am afraid the drive has failed. It may have lost its boot information then if you know someone with technical knowledge may be able to get the drive to be accessible.
