Hi, it might be a file system error. You could try removing the hdd from the usb enclosure and connect it directly to your pc via SATA. (power off both of them before doing so) If it really is the file system then scan disk should repair it automatically when turning on the pc. Then if the pc recognizes it you can put it back in the usb enclosure. Good luck!
Can you give any more information? What kind of PC? Age of PC? How old is the external drive? is the drive new? Esata is different then USB. Make sure you are connecting to an eSATA port on the computer. Newer laptops usually have a shared eSATA and USB port.
If your OS supports this device ... plug in the power supply to proper voltage ... and connect the end to the device. Use a appropriate USB cable from the back of the Seagate and plug into an available USB connection on your computer.
Check your AHCI (or ACHI, can't remember) settings in your BIOS. Turn them off, use "standard pata mode" even though you're using a SATA drive, and try again.
