                    Hi there Natnat1.
It sounds like the laptop is having issues with USB storage devices in general. This could be due to a driver fault. I'd recommend that you check if the HDD is detected in your BIOS/UEFI, first. If it shows up there, you should reinstall or update the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller's driver. Do the same with your chipset drivers as well.
Hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes.
