First u have to make partition of the HDD using FDISK or any other disk partition utility. After that format the partitions and then only your HDD will get detected.
For making partitions you have to connect the HDD to any Desktop PC. If you dont have access to any Desktop PC then ask your vendor to make partitions on the HDD.

Connect ur usb hard disk.
Right-click on my computer and click on manage. Now on the left hand side click on Disk management. It will show u all the disks that are connected in ur pc, including ur usb hard disk. If it is a new hard disk then you need to format and partition the hard disk. That can be done by right-clicking on the hard disk icon.

Don't listen to the other 2 posters, iMav is right, there is a problem with the USB casing.
Also, did you buy the 'R-Driver III - USB 2.0 to Sata/IDE cable' with the black box? I bought one recently, and that batch seems to have an inherent problem, so you can further narrow down the issue.

Sometimes the USB cable is faulty(cable break). Try with different one.

i assumed it was new hard disk so i told u how to format the hard disk.
Anyways, try out iMav's and Hackattack's suggestions. If that dont work, then get the casing checked from your vendor or check it yourself by connecting some other hard disk.

connect u r hdd to pc make partition and try if it still problem change cable or other wise change the usb converter
What I did is when it said " Your hardware may not work properly",
I formatted and partitioned it from a pc through a direct connection (non USB). Later when I enclosed it and tried to use as a USB in laptop, no reaction is seen from the laptop.
So what could have happened. Is it for I formatted it using a PC with direct connection with partitions that it does not support the USB connection or it is because of some fault from the casing side.
Plz provide ur views.

its definitely the USB casing that is creating the problem. your HDD is fine since u have made partitions and formatted it. try changing ur casing.
