Gary, other than Zeebee's request for you to post the error message,
why not take the cover off your computer and carefully clean all dust
from the motherboard and everywhere else, then pull the disk drive
cable and power connectors out before carefully lining up the pins
and fitting them snugly back exactly where they came from?

By the way, no matter what operating system I'm using, I wouldn't be
without my USB hard drive, just for backups.
