This has nothing to do with removing the HDD other then whatever enclosure, dock or USB adapter you are using to make this drive an external, Its USB controller inside the enclosure may be loosing connection.
To test this theory, remove the HDD from the enclosure etc and attach it internally to a desktop computer as a secondary drive. If you still getting the Hard Error, then the HDD may be failing.
Download \ Seatools for Windows and run the Short and Long diagnostic on the HDD. If either test fails, the HDD needs to be replaced.
