I have this problem once. The problem could be that your laptop cannot
provide enough power to the USB HD so it was unable to read the data.
even though the OS recognized that a USB device is plugged in.

Indeed. Usually when this condition occurs, you can hear the drive click
repeatedly. Some of these come with a dual USB connector at the computer
end for additional power.
