Hard Drive Not Working?

[Swifty123]

Hi iv turned my computer on today, and my storage Hard Drive hasnt been recognised, I checked if all the connections where in properly ( its IDE) and they were all in correctly. I cant use any of the functions or applications which were on the hard drive.

Its a WD3200JB.

Dont want any recommendations like "Buy a new one" just want any ideas on how to check if it is broken, or any ways to manually fix it?

Thanks
