Seagate 500gb Hdd

Hi, this is my first post on the forums, have been browsing for an answer all day but can't find exactly what I'm after.
I have 500gb Seagate external hard drive which I've had for about 2 years now, never any problems with it (running OSX 10.5.8). This morning I plugged it in and got the message 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' with the options to Initialize..., Ignore or Eject. I've seen other posts with people with the same problem but the outcome always seems to be different.
I tried it on a Dell Windows laptop, took a while installing the driver software before telling me there was an error installing it. Back on the macbook, the hard drive appears in Disk Utility but no options to repair etc. On another thread someone suggested typing in terminal:-
'sudo recover gpt /dev/disk#' and it returned the message 'gpt recover: unable to open device '/dev/disk3': Input/output error'
I have little or no knowledge of the ins and outs of hard drives and I'm stuck. Obviously need to get it working (if possible) a.s.a.p.
Is anybody able to help?
Thanks
