First of all, try it on a different machine - if it works OK on a desktop but not on a laptop, then you need to use an external 5V power supply.
You could also try and source a USB cable that has two USB plugs on it and connect the drive to two ports, but depending on the computer this may not help.

Hi, I have a WD2500XMS-00 couple years now and recently while using it on my Vista I heard my OS prompt me that the device was disconnected even though I installed it into the USB. Thinking it was not properly installed I secured it firmly into the USB again and also on the unit only to realise the cable was faulty. With the faulty cable always disconnecting itself from the laptop it caused my drive name not to show up in the drive listing. Also most of my file are missing and the remaining files are mostly symbols??? How can I recover my data?
