I am having a serious issue with my external hard drive. The power dropped out while the drive was mounted. I got the "device removal" error and quickly restored power to the drive to see if it would pop back on. The drive remained silent so I restarted my computer and my drive. Still nothing. At this point I knew that the drive was not going to mount so my initial thought was that the enclosure fried. I took the drive out of the enclosure and placed it into another and reconnected. Still nothing. I ran disk warrior and it did not recognize that the drive was attached. I tried using apple Disk Utility and I get the following info on the drive

Now I am trying to diagnose this problem. Can anyone tell me by looking at that info If the problem is hardware related, or have I just damaged the memory on the drive?
