Hi Chith,
You have done a good job by using the Attrib command. It usually solves this kind of issues. I recommend you to open Command Prompt and use the chkdsk /f command. Moreover, try the device on another PC and with another USB cable. Does the drive appear correctly in Disk Management, with proper file format and drive letter?
Using a Linux Live CD may help you to recover your data. If you manage to do so, format the external drive and check if the issue persists.
Hope this helps
