It is laptop or pc?(both your pc and another pc you checking of)
What is the make and model of your PC ?
What is the make and model and capacity of the external hard drive ?
Does this hard drive have a socket for an external power supply ?

You need a USB 3.0 Type A to SS Micro B USB power cable 3.0 ,have a socket for the External Power you only have one option you need a Powered USB Hub to go between the NB and Drive
The drive may have worked previously till with the constant power downs the Partitions Tables where corrupted. This is a certain Sign of insufficient Power being available to drive the External Drive. When you get a Powered USB Hub you'll need to go to the Drive Manager and Format the Drive so it again appears in the Windows Explorer or My Computer whichever you prefer to use.
