Western Digital Hard Drive problem

Can someone tell me the easiest way to solve this problem?

I have a western digital external hard drive that has just stopped working.

I was accessing it through a 3.5 USB 2.0 to SATA external hard drive box.

I ordered a new external hard drive box and that works fine, however the hard drive still does

not show up on my laptop.

I have concluded that the hard drive has died.

Is there any way to recover this data? Do I need another external hard drive?

Is there a way to transfer the data from the bad hard drive to a memory stick.

Any advice would be helpful. Thank you. :confused::mad::eek:
