external samsung usb drive problem

by tylerdurden . Updated 18 years, 10 months ago

hi
i have a external SAMSUNG MP0603H USB device. it was working ok, until couple of days ago i changed the casing (old casing power usb cable broke…). now my windows vista home basic doesn?t recognize the drive. it offers me to install drivers, but if i try to do so, it is trying to install them for a while, but then gives me an error warning and says that it can not install drivers for this device (or something like that). then in device manager it shows only that there is an USB drive (with yellow mark) and nothing in disk management nor my computer. and if i want to update the drivers the external hd starts to make squeeky high pitch noise and soon i get to no that i already have the best drivers for this device.
i am stuck. maybe the drive is broken? is there some way to get the data back from that drive?
any help?
thank you in advance…
