What if the hard drive is not detected by the computer?

First check that the cable and drive are not damaged. Try another USB port (preferably on the back of the PC). If you use a USB hub, make sure it has external power. Check the disk management to assign a drive letter if necessary. If the drive was used on a TV, format it before using it on a PC.

How do I safely remove the hard drive?

Before disconnecting the drive, use the 'Eject Device' option of your operating system. Wait until the LED stops flashing (indicating no access is in progress). Never remove the cable during data transfer to avoid data loss.
