For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It may not be the actual disk that is faulty, more probably the power supply. Any errors in the Windows event log (if you are running XP) ?.
If you can take the disk out of the external caddy then it is fairly easy to put it inside a PC case and use it as an internal drive.
You should then be able to do get the data off the drive.
If you want any info about how to do that then ask here.
