My external hard drive a Iomega Prestige 1tb Hdd USB 2.0 externally powered has stopped connecting to my computer after it recieved a knock on the bus today. Everything seems to be connected and it powers up and even comes up in the safely remove hardwear tab but it is listed as Samsung HD103SI USB Device not sure why that would be.

i cannot access files however and it does not appear in Disk mangager when i right click My Computer and such. I can hear that the drive is powering up as normal so i'm just wondering if there is anything i can do?

Operating System: Windows Xp (32bit)
CPU: AMD x4 Athlon II
