If you got a power surge on the USB port, that could have damaged the drive. No light is a bad indiication; make sure it is the drive that is faulty by trying it on another machine. You can try PC Inspector http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/3000-2248-10118664.html to see if the files are detectable.

since i dont have any access to the drive how could i format the PD using FAT16.
Try the utility program I linked to.
I will refer your comments to the moderators for their perusal.
check the connector (if you can open it) maybe something came loose.

I had checked the connector it is not loose.What u all experts are doing till now i had not got a single beneficial comment.
did you check the PD connector when it was open? (not the usb connector of the PC)
>> What u all experts are doing till now i had not got a single beneficial comment << ?? if the comments were of no help, that can happen. We have only your words to go on, and a solution is not always even clear to find.
In fact there may be no solution, if your PD is bad, which happens frequently.
but if it is bad, it is a good and valid answer.

anupambubna,
You are not going to get anymore beneficial comments, with the attitude you have. You started off insulting me, and then you go badmouthing others that want to help. Who do you think you are, that you feel you can say anything you want to the people who help out here? Just keep up with your current approach and you will get permanently booted off. I have very little tolerance for those who show no appreciation for the FREE help they get.

But please show me the way to regain access to my PD.
start with answering the question i asked
This is very simple, if the drive has failed, then there are no repairs or methods of recovering the information. Sorry.
