I tried Wondershare Data Recovery Free Trial Software. But the drive letter does not show up so the software cannot scan it in order to retrieve the data. Any good tips?
First check whether your USB driver properly installed or not.if not then install it,

You should buy a program called "Partition Table Doctor". I went through the EXACT same thing and it was just a bad partition on my mybook which is the EXACT same as yours is. It cleared up the problem for me. I still have problems with my mybook so i wish that I bought a different hard drive, but oh well.
but try "Partition Table Doctor", it will scan your mybook and fix any partition errors with it.
I was in the same boat as you over a year ago and trust me, "Partition Table Doctor" is a LIFESAVER!

Somehow i tried to format and it was formatted. took pretty long time as 1 terabyte. i thought all is ok as the drive was accessible. Just to double check, i scanned the drive thorugh the seagate manager and it got stuck on 10% for few seconds and then said that the hard disk is faulty and should be immediately returned if under warranty. and to confirm it also gave me read errors http://www.dtidata.com/resourcecenter/2007/05/15/how-to-tell-hard-drive-physical-damage/
so i'm giving it to seagate service centre as it probably has physical faults, bad sectors. and someone told me that 1TB hard drives are not stable.
