Hello,

You can try a data recovery software if the drive is seen by the computer, you can also try to use a different USB Cable.

Let’s see if another user can share some information or tips regarding a good data recovery software solution.

At me too a similar problem when I connect an external hard disk to the computer he sees it but does not display in a folder MY computer in some time is displayed. If you click on the disk, it starts to load again for hours.
Tell me please what can be the problem and how to fix it?
