your external hard drive I assume is a USB? your computer will automatically see it when it is plugged in. Assuming you are using Windows XP or VISTA, try a different USB slot first thing. If that works we can go from there ok. Boot the PC without attaching the external hard drive, then plug it into a different USB slot and see if windows see's it. Won't be the first time I saw a defective USB slot on a Vaio ... my daughter had the same thing with her camera
