Try a different cable between the computer and the drive.
Disassemble the casing, and remove the "internal" disk-drive.
If the USB-to-disk-drive adapter has "died", it's possible that the
disk-drive itself is intact, and your data will be intact.
Connect the "internal" disk-drive as a "slave" drive in a desktop computer, and see if it can be detected.
If it's dead, and it's still under warranty, then exercise the warranty.
I would say take the drive out and if you have SATA connectors on your motherboard, connect it directly to you computer and see if the computer will recognize it. If it does, your enclosure is bad.
Sounds like the drive has seized spindle... Not good news. Is it buzzing similar to any of these noises: http://datacent.com/hard_drive_sounds.php ? What you should do is remove the internal drive from the enclosure and connect it directly to the computer. If still buzzing then it's a real mechanical problem...
