External harddrive not recognized?

Okay I have a western digital hard drive 250 gb.It worked fine for a couple months. Now it comes up is device manager but not on my computer.So I go to computer management. The drive is there but when I right click all I see is help no Format. It shows the disk is not initialized. So I try to initialize{and I tried both options,MBR and GPT} and is says the drive cannot find the sector requested.Any advice? I've tried data recovery software but none find the drive.

    some are right (above) right click the computer icon on your desktop, click manage, then select disk management and then you will see your drives. right click and change the drive letter. when all done, reboot
