2tb WD elements drive not reading

I have a 2tb WD elements portable drive. When I connect it to my laptop, the led light on the drive stays on steadily without blinking (as when the drive is being read). I cannot access the drive, nor it shows up on my computer. What do I do about it?

Thank you.

Hi danielewski,

Is the drive showing up in the disk management if you are using Windows computer or in disk utility if you are using Mac computer?
