  appear for me to open up my HDD.. the rest i go check under properties.
  all working fine. and i am sure is not the usb port problem. cuz i have another hard disk which is working fine..

  You use the usb same cable for this other hard disk? So no pop up message and no question marks? You sure cannot see the drive in explorer?
  
  btw, you say all your PC cannot read this particular HDD is it?

  What type of hard disk is this?
  
  External SATA? Or others?
  
  2.5" or 3.5"?

  Try cleaning your registry. Use a decent registry cleaner.

  Are u directly connecting your hdd to the computer? Or through USB HUB? Don't use USB HUB as sometimes the power supplied through the hub may not be enough for the hdd to run. And if you can detect the hdd on other computers, y not just get ur folders from there?
  
  Or its a MUST that u be able to get it working on this particular computeR?

  In the end, it's still the cables.
