External USB2 Hard Drive not recognized by Windows

My Bytecc external USB2 enclosure with an internal IBM 60GB drive is no longer recognized by Windows.My computer recognizes the drive as a USB device, and that's it. If I connect/disconnect several times it will sometimes (1 out of 10 times) be randomly picked up by WinXP as another drive in MY COMPUTER, as it should. Does this mean the hard drive is close to its end?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running Windows XP SP2.
