It is really damaged, and will definitely fail very soon,
If there is "inestimable" data on it, you should download hiren boot cd and burn it on a disk with witch you will succeed to boot, access the hard drive utilities, and use disk doctor utility, (but it shouldn't perhaps not work) cos of the imminent failure of disk
It seems that hard drive has gone. u may check wires/cable in the box it might loosen.
Hey, the things you have mentioned tell me of a failure, and the best resolution might be to get in touch with maxtor or your dealer for warranty repairs..

There are a few things we can check open the computer management by right clicking on my computer, select manage, on the left side of the management window click on disk management now on right side look and see if you can find your external hdd..
Do you have a disk for it
if so reinstall it and let me know what happens
