The first time I plugged it into my laptop it worked fine. Then I started copying over a music file and left for a few hours. when I returned the device had stopped working and disappeared off My Computer and if I plug it in again, turn it off or restart it still doesn’t appear. Any help would be appreciated.

Plug your Iomega hard drive into one of your computer’s USB port.
Click the “Start” button and go to the “Run” field. Type “Devmgmt.msc” into the Run box and press the “Enter” key.
Go down to the bottom of the device manager to the “Universal Serial Bus Controller.”
Click on the little + (plus) sign to expand it. Look for an entry with a yellow exclamation point and click on it. Click the “Install the software automatically (Recommended)” button and then click the “Next” button.
Click the “Finish” button when the installation has finished. Go to the “My Computer” folder from your “Start” menu and locate the Iomega hard drive icon. Double click the icon to gain access to the external hard drive.
