  • Can we have some more info please?

    First guess is that it needs re-formatting as it's been unplugged incorrectly or subjected to a disruption of power, but without more details it's not possible to tell.

    Have a look in Disk Manager - right click my computer and choose manage, then Disk Management on the left.
    Does it show up in the lower right hand side - something like Disk 1, Disk 2 etc?
    If it does, then post exactly what's shown there.
