Hi,
It seems the problem originally started with the snapping of the USB port on the Hard Drive. If the hard drive is detected in the Device Manager you can assign a drive letter to it without formatting it. You can try doing it to as a fix. Check the below mentioned link for details:

I followed the instructions given, however here is no option to change file path or letter. Disk 0 has this option, but I know that is my OS and everything. The color of the top of the box for Disk 1 is black and it says 'unallocated'. When I right click the bigger box that shows the amount of data, the only options that I can click are Properties and Help. The other 3 are not clickable and include New Simple, Spanned and Striped Volume. When I right-click the box saying Disk 1, it gives me Initialize, Offline, Properties and Help.
