Why is it not detected?
When I plug in the computer USB port the drive is not detected; the green led blinks and I can hear weak continuous beeps. It is a Seagate 750GB external hard drive.
Is dit een goede vraag?

Assuming the drive is ok (have you tested it on another computer) it might be, that it demands too much current from the USB port - had this with an older FSC drive (I think with a Seagate or WD drive builtin).

External HD is composed by two parts: a controller and a classic HD. I would try to open it and conect the HD directly to the mainboard with the right interface (sata or parallel) ... if it works by anothe case/controller (very cheap) if it's not recognised ... it's above my knowledge ....

I have a Seagate 1.4TB external drive with a dedicated power cord; and mine also isn't being detected. Tried it unsuccessfully on 4 machines: Windows XP, Linux Ubuntu, an Apple Mac and a Toshiba Android tablet. No go. It makes whirring sounds for a few seconds then quits.
