No you can try. If it doesn't work yet then to the steps below:
It can be that you did installed the operating system with an USB and it can that there is written a setting into a configuration file that block this!

• open the command konsole and type followed command: gedit /etc/fstab
  

• look in this file for a line like => /dev/sdb1/media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0  you should delete this line or you can just put a # for the line (more safe option!) then it would look like => # /dev/sdb1/media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
  

• Save the file
  

• Connect again the hard-disk, and look if it popup,so you can free access it.
