Try shutting down the machine and then plugging the External into a rear USB port...unplug any unneccessary USB devices then use the same procedure.
If nothing then you need to try it on another machine to see if it's recognised.
Have you been using the "safely remove hardware" feature in the system tray area ? ?
How old is this enclosure and what make and model ? ?

When the External Hard Drive used to work, how did you remove it from the computer when you were done with it?
Did you just unplug it or did you use Safely Remove Hardware?

If it doesn't show up at all on 4 machines chances are the enclosure has gone South...
Carefully remove the drive from it and hook it up as an internal slave IDE drive and if you are lucky the drive and your data will be intact...

You got it...
It may be a SATA drive if it's newer if so no jumpers are involved just hook it up to SATA 2 or above on the MBoard.
