You might try the drive on another computer to see what result you get. If the same, I would try a repair operation on the HD to see if that helps the situation. Right-click the drive, click Properties, Tools, and run a repair. I don't know if you'll get that menu option.If not, I would next try Explore, This PC, Computer (at the top of the window), Manage, Disk Management and see if the drive is seen there, and whether you're offered a repair option.

Check that the USB cable can provide enough power to the hdd. Check that the USB port is powered. Older USB slots may not have enough power to run larger external HDDs, there you may require separate power to be plugged into the hdd. Are you using the original USB cable provided with the external HDD?

If it's an external drive, you can buy a new enclosure, pull the drive and put it in the new enclosure. If it still doesn't work then no it's probably dead.

Are you connecting it to a "USB 1.1" port, or to a "USB 2.0" port, on your computer?
The latter ports are 7 to 10 times faster!

If your desktop computer does not have any "USB 2.0" ports, you can purchase an add-in PCI card, to add such ports.

You connected it to a "USB 1.1" socket in your computer, which is only 1/40 of the speed of a "USB 2.0" socket (if your computer has any such USB sockets). If you don't have any USB 2.0 ports, buy a PCI add-in card to add some ports to your computer.

If the hard drive in the IBM laptop is OK then remove the hard drive from this laptop. Connect this hard drive to an USB hard drive adapter then connect the USB adapter with the hard drive into the USB port on the Vaio laptop. The Vaio laptop should see it as an external storage device (if the hard drive is OK). You can then open the various folders and files then copy these to the Vaio laptop

These things die like flies, for no good reason I have found. Especially if you have tried it in a PC that has never had it in before. You may as well try to reformat it. At least this way you may get a working drive again. But FIRST also Check the drive is OK, or Not by removing it and try connecting to a PC's SATA port. OR get a USB to SATA drive dongle, and see if the drive will work with that. Sometimes the USB electronics in the USB Drive is the actual culprit.. If the drive is OK, then you can use it on the dongle you tested it with.
