Either his HD or external case's interface has failed.
Your only chance of recovery is to remove his drive from the case and connect it directly to a working MB and this will void the warranty.
Good Luck!

thank you sir, I assumed the case was f---- but wanted a second opinion, thank you.
No problem, but how 'bout I give a little advice........Never buy those "pre-made" external HDs. Buy whatever flavor HD you like and put it into a 3.5" external case.
Most pre-mades come with inferior cases, electronics,1yr. warranty, and if you remove the HD for troubleshooting, it will void the warranty.
Do you and your buddy a favor and buy a HD with a 5yr. warranty, a case with a cooling fan and put the drive into the case for your external back-ups.
It's usually a little more expensive than those bargain pre-builts, but how much is your data worth to you?
Good luck!
First off, this is awesome. Secondly, is it possible to implement a RAID 0/1 device into my home-made external? If I possibly could, can I use a RAID card I already own? Thirdly, how big of a power supply would I need to do this?No problem, but how 'bout I give a little advice........Never buy those "pre-made" external HDs.
