Possibly the disk is good...
Can you take the disk out of its box put it in another USB box, or connect it directly to your system controller on the motherboard? This is hoping that the HDD is not the problem. At the moment, when the HDD is connected at boot, does it spin up? Will it not mount with a live-cd such as PartedMagic or SystemRescueCD? |

If it is not spinning then it is kaput ! Only chance now is professional recovery in a clean room ... expensive.
However, I would first take the HDD out of the case (if possible) and plug it in using a SATA interface or whatever it has, just in case something in the USB part of it failed. |
