Broken HDD

A couple weeks ago I was transferring from data from my computer to my netbook, using flash drives and my external HDD. Anyways I was careless and I ran into the cords and knocked everything on the ground. The only thing that doesn't work now is the HDD.
It is a Seagate 500 GB external HDD, the light works but the computer won't recognize it. I have never had this problem but I am thinking that I can buy an external enclosure off of newegg and it should work again...is this at all right? I don't think it is under warranty anymore since I already had to send it in once.
Also all my music is on it and the only other place my music is located is on my ipod, is there any way to get the music off my ipod or do I have to download everything again?

Sorry can't answer the ipod question.
Plug in your iPod, go to My Computer and open it as a drive, then copy the folder named iPod_Control to your computer. Your directory structure and file names will be lost, but just import it back into iTunes and it should sort it back out based on the metadata. Restart your computer before launching iTunes to do so.
