You can try this:
Unplug the drive, turn off the drive and reboot. After rebooting, turn on the drive and plug the drive into the same USB port. Windows should recognise the device. If it doesn't then try another USB port.

Sounds like your drive's USB interface is playing up.
Try a different USB port in case it's your computer's port that's got a power problem.
If it isn't, get a new USB case off eBay and put the disk drive into it.

Go to device manager and see if the device shjows there with an "!", click it and click remove.
Shut down PC, unplug the drive,
power on PC, plug in drive again, let it refind itself, should work again.
