A:

You have not told us anything - about what hard drive you have, what type of adapter you have or what troubleshooting steps you have taken.

So, your solution is likely here ... somewhere.

Try testing the usb-c port or the usb port.

If the website does not work, try googling or contacting the creators of the adapter.
