Passport 740 -need to recover data from a drive that doesn't show up in windows explorer

This morning, my 740 is not recognized by windows 7. Well, it shows up in Device Manager. it also shows up in Disk Manager but as Disk 0 and “not initialized”. The light flashes along and there is no strange sound coming from it. I don’t mind losing the drive, but I’d like some way to recover some of what’s on it.
