Does the external drive make noise when it is plugged in? Did you try
it on another computer before hacking around with software? If you
used the thing a lot and there is no fan in the case with the drive,
it likely suffered from overheating.

Then the problem is with the laptop. Have you tried any other USB
devices on the laptop?
