Hi,
Someone please help

I have a external hard drive which was working with no problems at all... Got asked to take some stuff from an old computer which went ok couple of days later I tried to go back onto the HDD and it was not showing up on "My Computer" ..... so I checked the device manager under disc drives which the HDD showed and when I went into properties it said thedrive was working ok. I have tried changing the USB cable to make sure it was not that, also tried taking HDD out of caddy and putting into a computer which still did not ready the data on it. I have ton of pictures of my wee boy on it which i really dont want to lose.... Can anyone help please?? Cheers
 


Yes my patners dad asked if I would take the pictures from his computer and then restore it putting Windows XP back onto it.
so i done all that for him but after sorting his computer and went to put his pictures back on and my HDD would not work.
 


The HDD shows in device manager yes but will malwarebytes let me run a scan on it as it is not showing up on
 


On my computer... ill try malwarebytes in the morning when I get in... I have already tried installing new driver for it. No joy either.
