I’ve got this Seagate Barracuda 160 GB sitting here. It was working fine until recently, but now I'm hitting a wall. When I plug it into the USB—using that split cable with the dedicated power supply—the light comes on and I can hear the platter spinning, but my computer won't recognize it at all. I'm not buying the whole "driver issue" excuse; it worked perfectly fine before, and then suddenly it just stopped. Is there any chance the interface on the drive itself is fried or something? I've got some pretty important files on there, so I'd really hate to just toss it in the trash without trying something first.
