Hi, not sure about this one, you could try looking at the external hard drive, it should have small connoctors at rear, near power cables, the conectors should be configured for a "slave", if its wrong, computer is trying to look for opperating system, and cant, pannicks, & sulks.
The external drive should now come up, d: or e: or f: or h: or whatever!
Hope this helps.

WOW! Really painful!
CREATE a "backup" folder on your GOOD drive first.
Try this... YOU are trying to get your Hitachi drive to boot and READ! So PLACE your Hitachi Drive in GIVEN position and RETRY booting each time...
VERTICAL (connectors UP).. then connectors down. Will it boot and ACCESS? Try PC board UP, etc, etc... EVERY position you can think of... REBOOTING each time you re-position...
Hopefully ONE of those positions WILL allow you to ACCESS your Hitachi!! As soon as you can, SAVING your most important things first.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS...
Take a look at the photo below... See the chrome 'arm' above the stacked disk(s)? You want to BANG the disk into your palm and hopefully 'free' that "arm" to access your drive again freely! Amigo ~ THIS IS a last resort...
But finally ~it is written on the Pyramid Walls... BACK IT UP!

May seem like a silly question you are not booting up computer with ext drive still plugged in are you?
i am assuming your operating system is on the internal drive.
if so don't have the external plugged in when you start up.
If it started making noise it could be a bad hard drive. To test try to put your HDD to another pc and see if it sees your photos if it does back them up to google drive or One drive. if it does not most likely your hard drive had stopped working sorry please vote me 10 if I have answered your question
I have used CCLEANER for many years and never had a problem. That does not mean someone else might not. But being as you have to use CCLEANER from within Windows, it is highly unlikely you do not have a recognized file system. It kind of sounds like possibly you have CCLEANER set to open on a different drive than the one Windows is on.
You may have a corrupted external hard drive. Often, corrupted means your files are still there, but the directory on the drive is mesed up, and the files cannot be found. If you are on a Windows PC, right click on the drive in File Explorer. Then choose Properties / Tools / Error Checking / Check. This should find and fix basic problems on the drive. Before that though, just try the external drive connected to another USB port, and if you have one, using another connecting cable, just to rule out problems with these items.
if the plug is getting loose you probably can't repair it
the only thing you can do is to open the plastic case, remove the hard disk and put it in a new enclosure.
emove the hard disk from the plastic case and put it in a new
Not Enough power To Run The device Please !! Make sure your USB Is upgraded To The Latest or It wont Work!!! Need More Info !! Hope This Helps Donald Deane MCSE,ASE,CPO
try to use other usb cable or try to plug it at the back of your computer.. if it still goes red, check the hdd inside the external hdd case if it connected or inserted properly..
run a virus scan on the device (from a good licensed antivirus company and a windows machine recommended) then later go to folder options and untick 'hide hidden items' and 'hide system extensions' options (basically untick all options related to hidden files and folders and say yes when prompted). your data is there do not format.
There should be a sticker or a stamp of the input and output voltage right next to the plug in. If it is the one coming from the wall it is a 120v and you just need to match the ends. If it is a smaller round one it is going to be 6 to 18 volts.
