Lights Are On, But Nobody Is Home...

Hello, I have a A279;WD2500U017-055. When I plug it into the USB port the light comes on, slowly flashes brighter (approximately once per second), and does nothing.  Win 7 pro error message says something about a drive being unplugged. I've tried different computers, and even Ubuntu 10.10, but it is still not readable. Please help! Thank you, Eric
