If it wasn't detected on Ubuntu and Windows, then it is probably a hardware issue. Try alternate USB ports. Also, try your HDD on another computer to identify where the problem really lies.

Thanks, am trying alternate usb ports now on another computer. Problem is
that with the older computers, USB2 ports are at the rear of such computers and USB extension cords have to be put or the computer moved to get to the rear of these old computers. The longer the extension cord, slower may be the data thruput of these external drives. The usb cord given alongwith the external drive is quite short.
