Hi there,
I would advise you to uninstall your HDD drivers from Device Manager. Restart the PC and plug your device again. Try the drive with different USB cable and on another PC. When you see the drive in Disk Management does it have a drive letter? What is the file format?

Let us know if you have any progress
