The last time I used it, it was working fine, now I want to get at the data...the hard drive won't give it back. I've tried it on 3 different computers now including a brand new one and no luck. I've even taken the hard drive out of the caddy and tried it as a slave in a computer and the comp doesn't recognise the drive.
Help...I'm right in the shit with this one.
Any ideas how I can get out of this?.

If its not recognising the disc it sounds like main directory block of the drive has become corrupted. You could try googling for a data recovery program - I found instructions
Computer First Aid Using Knoppix to use a linux disc. I had a similar problem a few years ago and down loaded a utility which allowed my to get back most of the data - can't remember what it was called however.
