Bad/Damaged Drive No Longer Even Accessible via LiveCD

I have a bad/damaged hard drive that had Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS installed on it, and per suggestions in the Ubuntu Forums, I was going to try and use ddrescue on it to clone it to another drive and see what I could get going with it. Unfortunately, now it's not even being detected by a LiveCD boot (the bad/damaged drive itself is connected via a USB SATA enclosure). Any ideas what I can try to get it back to being detected?

Just some more information - it was previously detected, and I unplugged it from the computer while I was in Ubuntu via LiveCD so that I could wipe the other drive (which is installed in the computer) and make sure that I didn't accidentally wipe the bad/damaged drive. And now, since doing that, it isn't showing up at all (after reconnecting it, and even after rebooting the LiveCD).

Thanks!
