Have you tried using a different USB cord or connecting tthe HDD to a different PC?

BTW, goto disk management and check if the drive shows up as RAW partition.

Yh...! I've tried different laptop with a different case too.
The green bar on d explorer keep loading and doesn't complete.

The size of the drive doesn't show... Only the name of the drive shows

Connect the HDD on a PC running win xp and check if it works.
