Does the drive get to show up in disk management?(diskmgmt.msc from start search or run).

IF not, does it work on USB 2.0 ports?

If you ONLY have usb 2.0 ports, you may need a cable to use power from 2(TWO) usb ports as USB ports are only supposed to deliver 500ma(2.5 watts).

Many 2.5 inch drives need more power.

If you listen to the drive, you may here it trying over and over to spin up, if you hear that, it needs more power(2 ports, 1 for power and data and one for power only).

Some computers will deliver enough power for a single USB port, while others do not.

sorry nukemaster for not answering you, i have had no troubles with it before now. And no i didn't change anything, the only thing i did was to turn down the computer. Then take out the batterie and leave it for 1 hour maybe. But my problem is back. And to all the questions you asked in the first place, yes it makes alot of noise and it lights up in the "turn on" ligthspot. My computer also tells me that there is a "unknown device" as i connect my harddisk

I would try it on another system if you can just to also listen to what it sounds like starting, then try it on the laptop again. if it sounds like it is just trying again and again, chances are the power is an issue(the 2x usb connector would be the best option for that).

OK, well that does not sound like a power issue. Power issues sound like it starts to spin then stops then starts over and over because it can not get enough power.

What is even stranger is that you have it working for a bit after removing the battery.

I have never seen a USB(2.0) port half work.
