After connect the WD to my TV, my computer does not reconigzed it

hey everyone!
well, my problem is that i plugged my WD to my Samsung TV, worked just fine, but when i unplugged it, and plugged it  to my PC, it didn’t recognized it…

the WD didn’t fall or damaged or something like that…

i tried to connect the WD to another 3 other computers and once again to the TV  but it didn’t work…

how can i fix this?

tnx!

Hi, did you safely ejected the external hard drive from the TV before disconnecting the USB cable? If not, that could have corrupted the files, you can open the disk management windows to see if it’s still recognized, check the link below.
