Have you tried plugging in hard drive then reboot PC/laptop and see if it is picked up that way?

Once you have done it this way,when your post screen appears,black screen/white words,does the hard drive appear there?

Does it show in computer management?

Does it show in device manager under USB devices?

If it shows in USB devices or not update driver for each USB device listed there this may kick the hard drive into being reconised.It should show up as a mass storage device.

It may or may not show up as a second hard drive in device manager were C drive is located.

Have you updated USB drivers in device manager?Try it?But do this while hard drive is connected.

Is the hard drive powering up?

Did you get a disk with the hard drive when you bought it?

Is the auto run turned off under the drives properties?
