seagate 1tb external hard drive not being detected, how to recover data ?

i have a seagate external harddrive im trying to connect to my pc. I have gone to the motherboard's website to update my drivers for 3.0 but they're completely dead. they are not recognised as having any problems in device manager and it says everything is up to date. the hard drive itself works when plugged into any other usb port on my pc, and i've tried the two 3.0 usb ports in the back of my computer by plugging other things like my phone or whatever but it wont work.
