Windows will not recognize my portable HDD, can you help?

I’ve had this portable hard disk drive for quite a few years. It doesn’t get much use because I use it mainly as a data backup. I was going to back up all my filed because I’m planning on getting a new laptop. I plugged it in today and windows (vista32) does not recognize it.
“One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it.”
It’s a Western Digital 150G, model number is WD1200XMSC-00. It’s getting power, the LED is lit up and I can feel it spooling up.
Any ideas?
