I simply plugged another cable from the computer's power supply into the hard drive. Since I did that (24 h ago), there have been no more disk problems. I assume that, as someone said, the bad contact affected the 12 V supply to the drive. However, I'm going to buy a better housing for my machine (it runs 24 h a day). Thanks to all who pointed me in the right direction. Michael
