you have to download the driver for the hard drive
go to the hard drive manufacturer web site , find the down load for you model hard drive and the imac operating system
download and run
It sounds like your hard drive is dead. If you have tried it on a different computer and it did the same thing then your drive isn't booting up and is probably bad.
I have the same issue. I have 4 Simpletech Signature 250GB drives. They all worked fine at first. After about six months two of them started connecting at USB 1 speeds. It occurs on 4 different computers!!! The post about it being the computer assumes is wrong. How can it work fine for six months and then suddenly change. Also it occurs on different computers. I have submitted a tech support request with simpletech and will post the results.
Drives do fail Nick.
Is it powering up [power supply problem?]
Plug it in and go to Start/Control Panel/Admin tools/computer management/storage/ removable storage and disk management. See if the disc is recognised there.
If it is not, and if the disk is spinning
Try putting it into the deep freeze overnight.
Plugging in next morning and if it fires up get as much off as possible before it goes down again.
