If Disk Utility cannot show you the drive, it's not there. It's dead or the cable is broken or disconnected. No other options..What makes you so sure it's not dead? It isn't showing up, which means either it's not powering up, or it's not connecting. I know it's hard to believe it just died, but there you are.Good luck with it. What I would suggest when you get it back is to take the drive out and see if it can be seen by another computer. If so, then the problem is in the cable or connections. If not, that is confirmation that it's dead.</blockquote>
