I have a seagate, 500GB (SV35.3) internal HDD. i am using it as an external drive with the help of a usb-to-sata adapter (TECH-COM). while transferring data, i happened to touch the wires (power and data) connected to the HDD. the HDD immediately was shown as disconnected and the transfer stopped. But since then the HDD has not been detected again. i tried restarting the PC as well as the HDD. What could the problem be?

the problem is not with the adapter since its working with another HDD.....

please help
