External Drive not showing on explorer

Dobs_2

Guys,

I wonder if you can help. I have Lacie external drive which I use as additional, until yestrday I've not had any problems with it. But it is not showing up on explorer as a drive, hence I can't access the drive. It's not showing in disk manager either.

Appreciate any help and advice

It is a USB connection. All my other USB devices work including another external drive, I've tried using different USB ports and that hasn't helped. But I will try disconnecting power and see if that helps, thank you.
