Buy yourself one of these

Take a small screwdriver and remove the drive enclosures from both drives that aren't working and hook the drives one by one to the adapter and see if your files show up. Even if the files don't show, as long as it shows in disk management the correct size of the drive, you should be able to use a software data recovery program to get your files back

This worked on my 1TB Iomega (Seagate), but not on my old Maxtor (also a seagate). Not much critical on it anyway! So my issue for the most part is resolved for 7.99 on ebay and a great tech! I think lightning must have stuck and the surge protector and it got the USB, but thankfully not the drive. But it fried the maxtor. Thanks HawaiiMusikMan!
