Please can you assist, I have installed a 120 gig hard drive in an external 3.5" usb 2.0 case and on the first conection was detected and allowed me to format it, when restarting the device windows 7 do not detect it but the device shows a green light. Further more when I go to control panel it is seen under Device manager below disk drives. The same happened with several disks.
How can I resolve this please?

In control panel/administrative tools/computer management/storage; do you see the disk listed? Does it have a drive letter assigned? Try refreshing the disk from the actions menu on the right. What format did you use?
