Try another cable and enclosure and hope your backup copies are fine.

i am using a wd passport external hd and just recently i accidentally dropped it from my table and later when i plugged it to my pc there was an error message that the drivers for this hardware were not installed succesfully...i knew i had to install the wd ses device driver but in a hurry i unplugged the device from my pc without safely removing it...and now when i connect it again the device is not even detected...i listened closely to see if the platters are spinning, my external drive tries to start but four clicks later it stops spinning. Is my ext drive corrupt?(forgive me if i am not using the correct tech terms but will greatly appreciate any help)
