I'm getting a "Please insert a disk into removable disk" message when accessing this external drive, which shows up in win explorer. Using Windows 7 x64.

The drive is definitely spinning up/down, apparently smoothly. The drive has data on it I would like to access. Not sure what could be wrong at this point.

I had titled the volume, but now it shows up as a generic "removable drive" type label in explorer.

It could be the disk USB port or USB interface can you put it in a PC to test?

What you mean by "HDD Not Working After Being Shipped"?
Open disk management and post an image of the whole screen.
