Solve : External Harddrive unseen?

1.	Solve : External Harddrive unseen?
Answer» OK.. for some reason, i am unable to see my External harddrive in the my computer thing, i see its light is on, but i still cant see it, i could before. could this have something to do with the poweroutage we had yesterday? I tried RESTARTING my computer, still it isn't seen, i tried TURNING my computer completely off, still unseen.. could it be because its fried? [which i am deeply hoping isn't as it has a lot of my things inside of it. could it just be the wires attaching it to the computer that's the problem, and and that the hardrive itself is fine?I WOULD try the manufactures web site to make sure that your HDD doesnt have an "Auto Install" if so you can try downloading/run it (the .exe) and see if the HDD SHOWS up. Came across the same prob but on a XP might WORK for vista. Second I would try a new cable... Right click My Computer and select Manage...then Disk Management... How is it reported there ? ?
