The driver for this specific device is missing or corrupt. simply re install the driver information and, this will fix it.

No, they are still OK. the driver is what you will need to re install.

The driver should be located on the disk that was shipped with this device.

Good rule of thumb is to always defrag your main on board hard drive regularly. this will prevent the drivers from becoming corrupt.

A typical sound from a disk-drive that has malfunctioned.

If it still has a valid WARRANTY, exercise the warranty to get it repaired/replaced.

If the warranty has expired, then open the case, remove the disk-drive, buy a new "compatible" disk-drive, connect it, and thus "revive" your external storage device.

Hard drive is turning on but computer isn't recognizing it

Maybe when it dropped it shattered a bit of the circuit board....
Or a wire came loose, maybe the Ex HDD pin has broke. Unsure.
Do you at all hear any clicking? That you may not of heard before?
