Hi there Shourya_1,

I believe it would be nice to just back up the data stored on the drive until you sort this out.

After that, you can test it with some of these tools, as there's a chance that there is something wrong with it: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility

The drive works totally fine on one computer while it is not recognized by another one right?
It is not recognized by both Disk Management and Device Manager right? You can try using another USB port. The ones on the back of the computer case tend to provide more power.

Let me know how this goes,
