External Hard Drive not working

About a month ago, I was using my Maxtor M3 portable 1TB external hard drive, and accidentally knocked it down from the table why I was playing, and it disconnected. Ever since then, when I plug it in, it beeps, my notebook seems to recognize it, but I can't access any of the files. I have tried using a new USB, and it didn't solve my problem.

Normal spinning drives don't like being jarred while running. Most likely the drive is faulty.

What is the drive status in Windows Drive Manager?
