May 19, 2011 at 21:35 comment added chunkyb2002 Do you have a non-Apple computer you can plug it in to? One good test is to see if it's detected by BIOS. If it is detected then it's likely a mechanical fault and whilst a repair would be possible it'd have to go to a specialist hard drive repair center. If it's not detected in BIOS then it's likely the controller board which can be replaced fairly easily if you can source a replacement board. You could also try that old trick of freezing your drive see if that brings it back to life (it's normally temporary though if it works)

May 19, 2011 at 21:29 comment added slhck You need to be more specific: How old is that thing? Do you hear the disk spinning when you plug it in? What is "not working" on Windows? Is it recognizing the drive and just not showing it or are you getting no output at all? What did you mean by "parallel" in your original post? Parallels.app, the virtualization software, or do you mean that you used the disk both on the Mac and Windows?
