[XP] targa 400gig ext hard drive

[pumphybear]

ive got my mates eternal HD over onto my pc to see if i can get it running as there seems to be a prob with his pc reading it, i was formatting his pc the other day for him and he mentioned when you want to take the usb cable for the HD first you have to go into `safely remove hardware` and disconnect it this way

i didnt , and now his pc cant read it, i put it into my pc and my machine started up by recognising it was there and then said there was a hardware failure, turned it off and started again, it said it was working but i couldnt find it, went into system then device manager and had the wee yellow exclamation mark next to it, tried updating drivers etc but too no avail, (btw it was a just plug and play, no software to install when he got it), im kinda stuck here for an answer as it says it has a code 10 problem in device manager

can anyone help as all his young sons fotos are on it

heres a link to the actual hdd but not the manufacturers site, scroll down the page a bit and you`ll see it
