If Ubuntu is unable to detect it then something seriously bad should have happened. I too have a Portable HD that went kaput in a similar fashion in Windows and I have been unable to recover the data from it.
Though i have no solution to this issue i would be keenly watching this to see how it pans out. Just an after thought. Would it be possible to recover data using some data recovery software on SystemRescueCD.
