Iomega isn't recognized on computer. Blue light is flashing on unit as well.

Is this a Windows compute? In case it is, there can be a number of causes, USB, conflicting driver letters, etc. Have a look on this article about how to troubleshoot such problems:

Connecting a esata port to a sate external hard drive

I don't think there is a converter from USB to ESATA, but you could buy a new Hard Drive enclosure that has those options, but I am not sure if you are willing to take out the HD from the existing one.

Please give details of How to restore Backup in case if Laptop is crashed. and after instaling OS.
fred capra Apr 30, 2011

You will have to install your backup drive then navigate just like you did to make the backup except you will choose "restore" from the wizard. Remember to choose backup from your iomega drive. Hopefully you will never need the second solution
