USB Drive not mounting

Question

I am 90 % sure the drive is fine :-( - Was copying data from it yesterday.

Lent the drive from a mate to copy data, now it can't be found, plugging in and out no change - AAAHHH he is going to KILL me. Please help :-)

Plug the drive in and then pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l and dmesg | tail See help.ubuntu.com/community/Pastebinit
