External hard drive fault?

I have a Hitachi LS – 1000-EMEA external hard drive. The drive has a lot of data on it which I need to recover but whenever I plug it into my pc it isn’t recognised as an external device, the pc just continues running as if nothing has been plugged in. The drive has a small hole near the USB port with something that looks like a padlock above it but there is no switch in the hole and I’ve tried to press I to it with a pin. The drive has an external light which turns on when plugged in and i’ve tried using different leads as well but still nothing. Have I lost all my data or is there a way of recovering it, preferably without seeing a specialist who will probably charge loads of money for something which I could probably do myself.
