My thought is it could be a couple of things.
1. The driver (software that helps the computer understand hardware) is out of date and to be updated
2. (assuming it is a USB connection) the USB port isn't fast enough to transfer data.
Did you check to make sure the external drive has power?
You will need to connect it to a computer to read what is on the external drive. As a precaution, always scan external storage devices with anti-virus programs before opening any content on a drive.
No you cannot because the USB Ports on a Xbox 360 are read only...
yes they do read disk. some require an external drive.
A CD-ROM, or a CD drive, reads Compact Discs, most computer nowadays have DVD-Roms in them, meaning they can read cd's and dvd's A hard drive, or a hard disk, is always in the computer and cannot be modified, you cannot change the disc inside the hard drive

One possible reason it wont is because the external hard drive might have gotten damaged from being jarred while it was running. Another possibility is that the circuitry in the enclosure has failed and can no longer transmit to the computer
Depending on the age of your computer you may or may not have a CD drive. With a drive you just put the CD in and the computer will read it. If you don't have a drive you can buy one and connect with a USB to the computer. Once it is installed the computer will read the disk.
nope. must be fat32
There are currently no well-known tablet computers available with an integrated optical drive, though you can connect an external drive to some devices.
Information is written, and read from the hard drive.
A flash drive is not a cd and therefore cannot be read like one.
Read-Only CDs (also known as CD-ROMs) are compact disks that have data printed into them in a factory and cannot be erased or rewritten with a computer's CD drive. These usually contain a driver for new computer hardware, or are used to install new software in a computer.
