Hi there luthamiller,

Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.

We understand you're trying to connected an external hard drive to your Mac. Is that correct?

We'd like to help. If you're receiving an error, try unplugging the hard drive and then restarting your Mac to then try and connect the drive again.

If you're still having trouble, contact Apple Support for assistance: Get Support

Take care.
