I had mine disconnected due to a lightning storm and hurriedly hooked it back up and was getting the same error as you. I had not pushed the usb connector in all of the way.

I have devices here that I can not plug in on the same usb hub and some devices will not work on a usb 3.0 port. Do you have another port on a different hub you can plug it in to?

If you do not see something similar it is not getting recognized on your system and could be either port issue or cabling.
