Fried e hard drive

[frap]

Hello,
I recently plugged my external hard drive into my front usb port, and nothing came up (it was previously working when it was plugged into the back USB port). So, I plugged it back into the back usb port, and it doesn't show up.

I'm pretty sure this is because I recently opened up my case and unplugged my front usb from the mobo, and when I re-plugged it back in I wasn't looking and plugged it into the wrong slot (i think it said something like IDE, but it didnt say USB). I realized this AFTER I plugged in my hard drive to the front. So I opened my case, and sure enough, it wasn't plugged into USB, so I plugged it into USB and fixed that problem. But, whenever I plug my hard drive into any computer (mac, pc, have tried multiple) it does not recognize it. I hear the hard drive running, and it doesnt make any clicking noises or anything, its running like it always has. It uses USB ports, and doesnt have any e sata. Nothing shows up in the bios, disc management, or the device mananger.

Any help would be appreciated. I really need some of the data that was on this hard drive.

Have you checked to see if the HD's USB CORD is working fine?

I got this fixed,

I took the hard drive out of its enclosure, plugged it up inside of my computer using SATA ports, and got the data off of it like that. I'll just keep it in my computer for a 2nd hd

Sounds like it was the USB interface on the HD then?

Yea, pretty sure the enclosure of it was fried.
