I loaded a bunch of new stuff on my external HD, and disconnected properly through Add/Remove Devices.

I'm on a different computer now and nothing happens when I plug the drive in.

I also tried it on my laptop, which it worked fine on yesterday.

I took the enclosure apart to make sure nothing came loose and there wasn't anything obviously wrong with it.

I tried restarting the computer and using different USB ports but didn't have any luck.

When I turn the drive on, it just doesn't start spinning.

How can I fix this issue?
 
Just tried a different USB cable, no luck.

This really sucks, I put a bunch of music and movies on it since I was going to visit my parents and now I can't access any of it.
