New External HDD was there but now its gone from My Computer

I recently hooked up a Pine External USB HDD and it worked fine but now I can't find it under My Computer. Device Manager sees it and says its working fine but it won't come up under Hard Disk Drives in My Computer.

TomCat:

Try another USB cable, the one you have may have a break in it. make sure the power to the device is complete. Read the advice to Ultra Enclosure/Hard Disk Problem above and "I want the Power" answer.
